My name is Merriweather; I sing just like I see This song that I’m living, grace has given me The one that I love is here by my side And I’ll love this man wholly till this world sucks me dry
He watches over the roses that bloom in my soul And all through the garden his name does grow The one that I lost is under the dust And deeper he’s buried, as he learns of our love
My love drives until morning, the devil behind I talk of the colours filling my mind He’ll take on the demon and keep him in chains And smile as his ashes fly over the plains
My name is Merriweather; I sing just like see And all the hurried people ain’t touching me The one that I love is here by my side And I’ll love this man wholly till this world sucks me dry
