Merigold

It's cold in Mississippi longest day of the year

The geese cry in the wind

As I wade into the delta, shotgun in my hands

Knowing I'll never see you again

Her cancer gave no warning dug its roots into her ground

Wild as the kudzu on the highways of the south

Barely time to dream of better days to get her by

She was gone in the blink of an eye

Time to time, we all lose somethin'

But It ain't worth nothin' to me like this all broken

Lord, if you can hear me, I swear to leave you alone

Please pick up the phone

I want you to know

You can take me when she goes

Last spring, you cleaned out the cast iron, and you hung it up

I've been hungry ever since

Nothing fills me up no more, and the drinking sucks

Carves me up just thinkin' bout it

Wish I could take you driving we'd roll into town

See the Christmas lights up on the square

Watchin' the sun go down, setting fire to the air

No honey, we ain't gotta go anywhere

Time to time, we all lose somethin'

But It ain't worth nothin to me like this all broken

Lord, if you can hear me, I swear to leave you alone

Please pick up the phone

I want you to know

You can take me when she goes
