Loved You So Long

She comes to bed
At 4am
Every night
I'm scared that I lost her again
Never sleeping
Too much drinking
Got a hole in her heart
I can't fill

Darlin' don't you know
I've loved you so long
The children are grown
And our parents are gone
Now can't you take
Some time and move on
'Cause darlin'
I've loved you so long

Our son he looks like her
Daughter, she cooks like her
One babe we gave away
Nights she remembers
She staggers, and lingers
Mornings, she's miles away

Darlin' don't you know
I've loved you so long
The children are grown
And our parents are gone
Now can't you take
Some care and move on
'Cause darlin'
I've loved you so long

Someday she'll speak up
We'll get her all cleaned up
I'll take her out on the bay
And drown all her sorrows
In all our tomorrows
The alarm's far away

Darlin' don't you know
I've loved you so long
The children are grown
And our parents are gone
Now can't we take
Some time and move on
'Cause darlin'
I've loved you so long
