Goldenrod and the 4h stone,
Am G
the things I brought you
D C Am G
when I found out you had cancer of the bone.

Your father cried on the telephone,
Am G
and he drove his car into the navy yard,
D C Am G
just to prove that he was sorry.

In the morning, through the window shade,
Am G
when the light pressed up against your shoulderblade,
D C Am G
I could see what you were reading.

All the glory that the Lord has made,
Am G
and the complications you could do without,
D C Am G
when I kissed you on the mouth.
D C
Tuesday night at the Bible study,
Am G
we lift our hands and pray over your body,
D C Am G
but nothing ever happens.
D C
I remember at Michael's house,
Am G
in the living room when you kissed my neck,
D C Am G
and I almost touched your blouse.
D C
In the morning at the top of the stairs,
Am G
when your father found out what we did that night,
D C Am G
and you told me you were scared.

D C
All the glory when you ran outside,
Am G
with your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied,
D C Am G
and you told me not to follow you.

Sunday night when I cleaned the house,
Am G
I find the card where you wrote it out,
D C Am G
with the pictures of your mother.
D C
On the floor at the great divide,
Am G
With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied,
D C Am G
I am crying in the bathroom.
D C
In the morning when you finally go,
Am G
and the nurse runs in with her head hung low,
D C Am G
and the cardinal hits the window.
D C
In the morning in the winter shade,
Am G
on the first of March on the holiday,
D C Am G
I thought I saw you breathing.
D C
All the glory that the Lord has made,
Am G
and the complications when I see His face,
D C Am G
in the morning in the window.
D C
All the glory when he took our place,
Am G
but he took my shoulders and he shook my face,
D C Am G
and he takes, and he takes, and he takes.
