waiting for ruth to come home - jayber crow lyrics

Loading...

old warren in the bas-m-nt working on an antique lamp
his hands move to his chest to hold the heart attack
he makes his way upstairs to reach the telephone
but he does not call anyone; no, he’s waiting for ruth to come home

outside, the leaves are turning to meet their deathbed on a breeze
they wait in brilliant colors; warren settles to his knees
the blood fills up his face as he sits there alone
rememb’ring quietly, and waiting for ruth to come home

don’t wake the babe who sleeps next door
don’t disturb neighbors with the siren’s roar
the eve is quiet, i will be fine
no need to fight this pain’s divine
reminds me of the life i’ve lived
and to me so much has been giv’n
thanks be to god; i’ve just one plea—
if i
should die
let me in peace

- jayber crow lyrics
