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
