Oh My God Please - Benjamin Francis Leftwich

I walk tired on the field

With a bottle in my hand

Tired from what I’d carried a lot

First flowers of the year

Were blooming in the yard

And I said, «Oh my Lord, I’m trying»

And you said

«I don’t mind waiting for you

On a rainy monday morning

At the airport at the start of June

Or in the chaos of the station

When they call the cancellation

I’ll be there if you ask me to»

But if I leave

Like I done so many times before

Oh my God, please

Let me come back in one piece once more

Six years on the run

And I didn’t say a word

You’re the only bridge that never burns

I tried to find another

A company of lovers

Then I said, «Oh my Lord, I’m dying»

And you said

«I don’t mind being patient

It’s not an easy situation

I’ll be there if you ask me to»

So I said, «Finally I’m ready

To drop the rock that’s heavy

I’m down to try forever with you»

You never leave

Like I done so many times before

Oh my God, please

Let me come back in one piece once more
