well the life you have in you is more than you should
I've never seen someone so bright
you cheer up my days just like I knew you would
you're the lady behind my delight
the smile you brandish is infectious and loud
and your swagger could kill anyone
to see you grow stronger makes me so damn proud
I'm the moon when you are the sun, and
live this life of yours by my side
I know dove some day this is so
and every favour that's been granted to me
was planted from seeds that you've sown
tall tell tale stories speak of some dreams
that never could quite come to life
but in our growing fable these eyes hope to see
the smile of yours as my wife
this beast needs a beauty you know how it goes
if you can love me as I am
love needs a reason and in us it does
a shining example we stand, so
live this life of yours by my side
I know dove some day this is so
and every favour that's been granted to me
was planted from seeds that you've sown
I know there is something in your pale eyes
that sees inside me the sun
living in you breathes the soul that I prize
we will take on this world as one
live this life of yours by my side
I know dove some day this is so
and every favour that's been granted to me
was planted from seeds that you've sown
every favour that's been granted to me
was planted from seeds that you've sown

Porchlight
The sweetest labor that my heart has known
is the farm on which I stand.
‘Cause every single seed that’s been sown
was put in the ground by my hand and
sometimes the sun goes down a little too soon
before the day’s work is through
and I keep on going by the light of the moon when
I’d rather be home with you
Would you leave the porch light on for me?
Would you leave the porch light on for me?
I come home from the field when it’s too dark to see.
Would you leave the porch light on for me?
I can barely stand up, there’s more to be done. Oh, the bottom field needs to be plowed.
I never asked help from anyone, but Lord I can use some now.
Just give me the strength to make it back home when I can’t work no more,
and Lord let her be the first thing I see when I crawl through that front door.
Would you leave the porch light on for me?
Would you leave the porch light on for me?
To light my way back from the night so black
would you leave the porch light on for me?
Well I’m sick as a dog and no one can help. Oh, the pain’s more than I can bear,
but still my thoughts drift to the one sweet gift: the love that we share,
and I hate for you to see me like this. Oh, remember when I was strong.
If I didn’t have these IVs in my wrist well, I’d hold you in my arms.
Would you leave the porch light on for me?
Would you leave the porch light on for me?
This hospital bed is where I’ve got to be.
Would you leave the porch light on for me?
They say that I ain’t got long for this life Oh, they say that it’s my time to go.
Darling, you’ve been the most wonderful wife that any man could know.
Well you stuck by me through thick and through thin since the day you became my bride,
and someday I’ll hope to see you again when we meet on the other side.
Would you leave the porch light on for me?
Would you leave the porch light on for me?
Even though just a memory is all that I’ll be.
Would you leave the porch light on for me?
Even though just a memory is all that I'll be....
Would you leave the porch light on for me?
W.E.W.

lazy days
The lazy day is pushing onward
as the clouds dance in the sky,
every moment a moment backward
lying here in a broken back pile,
the bell always rings and children always scamper
days don't stop just cause you're hurt,
the lazy man with none no courage of his own
lies helpless head in the dirt,
and the hours hour on
no longer a part of the mix
an untimely sneeze brought you to your knees
and landed you in this fix
as the clouds dance in the sky,
every moment a moment backward
lying here in a broken back pile,
the bell always rings and children always scamper
days don't stop just cause you're hurt,
the lazy man with none no courage of his own
lies helpless head in the dirt,
and the hours hour on
no longer a part of the mix
an untimely sneeze brought you to your knees
and landed you in this fix
