Oh My God Please

(альбом: To Carry A Whale - 2021)

I walked out on the field
With a bottle in my hand
Tired from what I'd carried a lot

First flowers of the year
Were blooming in the yard
And I said oh my lord I'm trying

And you said
I don't mind waiting for you
On a rainy Monday morning
At the airport at the start of June
Or in the chaos of the station
When they call the cancellation
I'll be there if you ask me to

But if I leave
Like I done so many times before
Oh my God please
Let me come back in one piece once more

Six years on the run
And I didn't say a word
You're the only bridge that never burns

I tried to find another
A company of lovers
Then I said oh my lord I'm dying

And you said
I don't mind being patient
It's not an easy situation
I'll be there if you ask me to

So I said
Finally I'm ready
To drop the rock that's heavy
I'm down to try forever with you

You never leave
Like I done so many times before
Oh my God please
Let me come back in one piece once more
