I know that I loved her with all of my heart,
I know that I sought her good at every turn,
I know I put her first,
I know this feeling will cause me to burst,
To let go of the one I thought was the one,
But alas her sweet love is gone,
So today I sing, I sing a new song,
That this pain won’t last too long, and the futures love will impart like a spring day.
Here I sit no more in dismay,
lord lay my head among the hay, and thresh me until I am all turned out,
Allow me to live and breathe among the willow trees,
And stitch my heart up like a tapestry,
So that one day I will see.
