[Verse 1]
Goldenrod and the 4H stone
The things I brought you when I found out
You had cancer of the bone
[Verse 2]
Your father cried on the telephone
And he drove his car into the Navy yard
Just to prove that he was sorry
[Chorus 1]
In the morning, through the window shade
When the light pressed up against your shoulderblade
I could see what you were reading
All the glory that the Lord has made
And the complications you could do without
When I kissed you on the mouth
[Verse 3]
Tuesday night at the Bible study
We lift our hands and pray over your body
But nothing ever happens
[Verse 4]
I remember at Michael's house
In the living room when you kissed my neck
And I almost touched your blouse
In the morning at the top of the stairs
When your father found out what we did that night
And you told me you were scared
All the glory when you ran outside
With your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied
And you told me not to follow you
[Verse 5]
Sunday night when I cleaned the house
I find the card where you wrote it out
With the pictures of your mother
[Verse 6]
On the floor at the great divide
With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied
I am crying in the bathroom
[Chorus 3]
In the morning when you finally go
And the nurse runs in with her head hung low
And the cardinal hits the window
In the morning in the winter shade
On the first of March, on the holiday
I thought I saw you breathing
All the glory that the Lord has made
And the complications when I see His face
In the morning in the window
All the glory when He took our place
But He took my shoulders and He shook my face
And He takes and He takes and He takes

You're scared of a world where you're needed
So you never made nice with the locals
But you tied me up slow with your vine, stuck
It takes a few years, but they break bones
It takes a few months, but our bones heal
…
And I know
You're tired
Well, I'm tired too
Oh, that every time I try to make lunch
For anyone else, in my head
I end up dreaming of you
And you come to me
Good morning
Show me the place where he inserted the blade
I'll praise the lord, burn my house
I get lost, I freak out
You come home, hold me tight
As if it never happened at all
Good morning
Show me the fifth of the cadence you want me to play
Good morning
Show me where to tie the other end of this chain

first single off of ‘Willoughby Tucker, I’ll always love you’ releasing august 8th (early birthday present for me 🤩)
We were in a race to grow up
Yesterday, through today, till tomorrow
But when the plant blew up
A piece of shrapnel flew and slowed that part of you
The doctors gave you until the end of the night
But not till daylight, not till daylight
Time passes slower in the flicker of a hospital light
I pray the race is worth the fight
Made a fool of myself down on Tennessee Street
It wasn't pretty like the movies, it was ugly like what they all did to me
And they did to me what I wouldn't do to anyone
You know that's for sure
Tell me all the time not to worry
And think of all the time that I'll have with you
When I won't wake up on my own, wake up on my own
Held close all the time, knowing I'm half of you
Lay me down where the trees bend low
Put me down where the greenery stings
I can hear them singing
To love me is to suffer me
And I believe it
When I lay with you in that auld lang room
Wishing I was the way you say that you are
You'll go fight a war, I'll go missing
I warned you, for me, it's not that hard
That picture on the wall you're scared of looks just like you
I want to bleed, I want to hurt the way that boys do
Maybe you're right and we should stop watching the news
'Cause, baby, I've never seen brown eyes look so blue
Tell me all the time not to worry (not to worry)
And think of all the time that I'll have with you
When I won't wake up on my own, wake up on my own
Held close all the time, knowing I'm half of you
Think of us inside after the wedding (after the wedding)
Suffering the while to lie a time or two
Where we won't wake up on our own, wake up on our own
Held close all the time, knowing
This was all for you
Think of us inside
Gardenias on the tile
Where it makes no difference who held back from who
(To love me is to suffer me)

Sorry that I could never love you back
I could never care enough in these last days
Her tears fell on her pages
Found me well on her words
I don't know what to do or say
Wading through warm canals and pools clear blue
The Tuscarawas flowed into the Great Lakes
Riding back where the highway met dead tracks
The ground is now cement and glass, so far away
Heal her soul
Carry her, my angel, Ohio
Green, green youth: what about the sweetness we knew?
What about what's good, what's true from those days?
(Can't count to all the lovers I've burnt through
So why do I still burn for you? I can't say
Sorry that I could never love you back
I could never care enough in these last days) BEST VERSE EVER
Children blessed, gather 'round the home she rests
So pull and go over there Midwest, moon and sun
Flashes bringing on my open eyes to lightning storm
The touch of mist felt soft, felt warm on my face
Gray, vague dreams, a million miles ago, you seem
A star that I just don't see anymore
Words long gone, lost on journeys we walked on
Lost are voices are heard along the way
(Sorry for never going by your door
Never feeling love like that anymore) ahhhh

Look down to avoid dog shit. Miss everything else.
Look up, step in dog shit maybe, but witness everything.
