Bear Witness - Dawes

You can put them on the counter

There with all the other flowers

And help me figure out how

To turn off this TV

I'm glad you made the visit

And if you think you have a minute

You should sit and talk

Until it's time to leave

Is my granddaughter Ruthie

Still working at the movies

Does she still let all her

Boyfriends in for free

Does she still stare out of the

Front door as she's serving people popcorn

And talk about how nice

Today was supposed to be

Oh that's the love that

I came to bear witness to

Oh and the love I'm taking

With me when I go

Did you notice walking over

At the house down on the corner

There's a dog behind a

Window that doesn't move

I've seen him staring in the mornings

I've seen him staring in the evenings

As if time stops until

His master's in the room

Oh that's the love that

I came to bear witness to

Oh and the love I'm taking

With me when I go

Some nights get worse than others

And I start thinking about your mother

And she's here with me

As far as I can tell

As if the world revealed

It's secret and it's

Asking me to keep it

Like a kid that hears

The ocean in a shell

And that's the love that

I came to bear witness to

And the love I'm taking

With me when I go

Oh Oh Oh that's the love that

I came to bear witness to

Oh and the love I'm

Taking with me when I go

And the love I'm

Taking with me when I go

Oh Oh Oh Oh
