lyrics

\
i know the lord got mercy / that is plane to see
when i wake up in the morning / that woman is layin right next me
that woman is layin down next to me

well i seen that woman scrubbin her skin down in the sand
down by the bank of that cold blue river
scared shes gonna slip right through my hands

i know the lord got mercy / i know the lord got wrath
i won't take for granted what you give me lord
don't you take my sweetheart back
don't you take my baby back

\\
at night when the sun goes down that when the hunger sets in
and i know there ain't a crumb around to put between those achin ribs

well you know she don't drink whiskey
my baby girl don't drink gin
i can feel her looking right at me lord with her tobacco yellow grin

i know that i done wrong / i ain't gotta strain to see
i won't do you no more harm now lord
don't you take this one from me/ don't take that girl from me

\\\
well theres a darkness in these woods
atleast thats how the story goes
they say you better hold onto your fears, child
if you got dreams of growing old

listen to the crickets chirpin
listen to that old toad croak
when you hear the valley go silent listen to the chill down in your bones

theres a darkness in this world
i ain't gotta strain to see
i can feel it lookin right at me
lord don't you take this one from me
lord don't you take that girl from me
lord don't you take my girl from me

What you say and play resonates so heavy we can feel it in our bones. We relate and understand and appreciate what you have to say and the musical way you present what you have to say. Thank you for everything you have exposed the world to. Thank you for exposing the world to what you have lived through. We all need more than what you have given us. So many have lived real loss (including my wife and I) and you present and express it more than most. A big favorite for the wife and I for sure. Michael Benoit

Hard to express how much I love this album. They write songs that have existed forever, about what you're thinking about today. pgrahampdx
