The Widow

Dead man, were you ever alive or was I just a seed
 Buried deep inside some woman you wed
 Right before you crawled out of her bed and crept down the hall?
 Did you think of me?
 Did you even for a second hesitate, in the doorway?
 It's just something I'd like to know
 Though I'd still love you if you told me
 That you just walked away
 My God, what a world you love
 Men bury their sons, and without thought, they just walk away
 ♪
 And my mother's heart breaks like the water inside of her
 And my mother's heart breaks like the water inside of her
 Dead man, is it being high that makes you alive?
 It makes you leave behind three boys and a wife, in '89
 And as the track marks inch their way up your arm
 My mother taught my brothers and I not to call you Daddy, but to call you Father
 But I believe there is something here to be learned of grace
 'Cause I can't help but love you
 No, I can't help but love you
 Even with a heart that breaks, like the promises that you made
 Like the promises that you made
 The promises that you made
 'Cause I can't help but love you

 My God, what a world you love
