You & Jesus & Folk

You & Jesus & Folk

I remember when I met you

Talkin’ bout how you loved Jesus and folk I’d been waiting for somebody

To show me how to play the right notes And we made our plans, and played pretend Until your heart turned around

It was only a matter of time, I knew

It doesn’t matter now

I’ve been listening to your music,

you sing about forgiveness in your bedroom

Thought I knew you

But you’re just like the roses in my garden

For a season, you give your heart to me and then you go But I’ll remember

You, and Jesus, and folk

That spring was different than the others

First time I’d seen the rain in far too long

And you took me by surprise when you said I

Was someone you could love

Driving past the poppies blooming, two guitars in the backseat It was only a matter of time, I knew

Til you’d be leaving me

But I’ve been listening to your music,

you sing about these places that you fly to

Thought I knew you

Well you’re just like the roses in my garden

For a season, you give the world to me and then you go But I’ll remember

You, and Jesus, and folk

I’ve been listening to your music,

you sing about this home you’ve always dreamt of

With your new love

But aren’t we all just roses in the garden

For a season, we give all that we have and then our petals hit the ground But I’ve been waiting for the spring to come back around
