Oh My God Please

  • 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 Writer/s: Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Samuel Lloyd Duckworth
