Oh, my child

Thirty years today

You came into my life

And everything changed
There's one thing I tried to teach you

Girl, don't you waste your time

Come this September

You'll be somebody's wife

I won't paint a picture of what you want to see

Love is the harder times, take it from me

I would run down the lane and into the night

Run from my lover and my best friend

And back again

And all of the courage

I tried so hard to hold on to

Ever since that day

You and your brother left for school
They say, just over that hill
C
The fog rolled in
G
And, "Come quick doctor

We think somebody's been killed"
G F
And I have been a healer of other people's pain
Em Dm
Yeah, I know sometimes you don't like the ways I've changed

But the smell of the world came into my lungs

The sound of the gravel when my legs went numb
F C Am
And my heart nearly burst right out of my chest
F C Am
It felt so good to know I wasn't dead

Back again
Am
Back again
