Oh my God it's over

G Am F

Smiling devil on my shoulder

G Am F

Cut the cord for the leaving

G Am F

Fatherless for a season

G Am F

How we break long division

G Am F

I will miss all her children

Fall from grace and your favor

From now on just a stranger

But you took your breath from me

You took your breath from me

Cast my bones to the casket

Tell her how long it lasted

G Am F

Hold a place in the mortar

Lay her down here my daughter

Root her seed to another

I was her native mother

Never thought I could save her

G Am F

Please remind her I made her

You took your breath from me
