Golden rod and the 4-H stone The things I brought you When I found out you had cancer of the boneYour father cried on the telephone And he drove his car to the Navy yard Just to prove that he was sorryIn the morning through the window shade When the light pressed up against your shoulder blade I could see what you were readingOh the glory that the lord has made And the complications you could do without When I kissed you on the mouthTuesday night at the bible study We lift our hands and pray over your body But nothing ever happensI remember at Michael's house In the living room when you kissed my neck And I almost touched your blouseIn the morning at the top of the stairs When your father found out what we did that night And you told me you were scaredOh the glory when you ran outside With your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied And you told me not to follow youSunday night when I cleaned the house I find the card where you wrote it out With the pictures of your motherOn the floor at the great divide With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied I am crying in the bathroomIn the morning when you finally go And the nurse runs in with her head hung low And the cardinal hits the windowIn the morning in the winter shade On the first of March on the holiday I thought I saw you breathingOh the glory that the lord has made And the complications when I see his face In the morning in the windowOh the glory when he took our place But he took my shoulders and he shook my face And he takes and he takes and he takes
