you dropped your young wife off
in the parking lot
at the hospital
that was the day i was born
i guess you went home
to work on the tractor
i guess you were trying
to get out of the storm
you were trying to get out of the storm
in a tiny room
in an old building
in the middle of nowhere
a small miracle took place
amid the chaos of blood
and sweat and tears
the divine one showed
his tender face
yeah he showed his tender face
in the calm after the storm
that scared young woman felt a love so true
as she lay holding her small miracle
and wondering where were you
wondering where were you
since that November day
fall has turned to winter
so many times
sometimes i lose count
you’ve remained a prisoner
of your misery and fear
and to this day i pray someday
you’ll get out
i pray someday you’ll get out
(instrumental)
love and sorrow like two rivers flow
through my days and through my veins
pain is the only thing you ever had to give me
after you gave me your name
yeah you gave me your name
