Reminds her of the time and low country boys

And their bottles without her, though she's on their minds

Hands in black mud, at the foot of the manger

A glass jar in the window, her shape blocks the candle light

We are blessed, aren't we, in the shade of these large auburn leaves
F C Am C G

Unexpectedly we arrive where we’re all meant to be
