Sorry for the Wait

I ran these hills since the day I could stand
And I worked the mines since the year I turned ten
We got married and danced to "Canon in D"
And I held our baby with your eyes, at seventeen

And I kissed you goodbye beneath the December sky
Then I walked to work through Monongah to the mine
Through King Coal's Hall, to the wall that I pike
That day cut short, a spark by the divine

So, don't go weeping so long
Sing the melody of our song
'Cause I'm back in the clay
Where I'll find you someday
Ohh, but darlin', sorry for the wait

When you miss talkin' at me, holler towards the mine
It's amazing, how your voice echoes inside
When the winter breeze tugs at your hair
Just know that it's me, with a grin, standing there

So, don't go weeping so long
Sing the melody of our song
'Cause I'm back in the clay
Where I'll find you someday
Oh, my darlin', sorry for the wait

So, don't go weeping so long
Sing the melody of our song
'Cause I'm back in the clay
Where I'll find you someday
So, don't go weeping so long
Sing the melody of our song
'Cause I'm back in the clay
Where I'll find you someday
Oh, my darlin', sorry for the wait

Yes, I'm sorry for the wait
Oh, darlin', sorry for the wait
