I believe these are the correct lyrics: Goldenrod and the 4H stone The things I brought you When I found out you had cancer of the bone Your father cried on the telephone And he drove his car into the navy yard Just to prove that he was sorry In the morning, through the window shade When the light pressed up against your shoulder blade 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 Tuesday night at the Bible study We lift our hands and pray over your body But nothing ever happens 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 Sunday night when I cleaned the house I find the card where you wrote it out With the pictures of you mother On the floor at the great divide With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied I am crying in the bathroom 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 1st 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
lol I've spent years now trying to listen to it without crying. But it's gotten even worse over the years as I've watched friends succumb to cancer. Good people. Now i break down as soon as i hear the first note. In the morning in the window.
I believe these are the correct lyrics:
Goldenrod and the 4H stone
The things I brought you
When I found out you had cancer of the bone
Your father cried on the telephone
And he drove his car into the navy yard
Just to prove that he was sorry
In the morning, through the window shade
When the light pressed up against your shoulder blade
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
Tuesday night at the Bible study
We lift our hands and pray over your body
But nothing ever happens
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
Sunday night when I cleaned the house
I find the card where you wrote it out
With the pictures of you mother
On the floor at the great divide
With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied
I am crying in the bathroom
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 1st 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
Thanks ❤
Bless you!
Uncle Sufjan I wish we could see you soon. I've miss you. ~Your great-niece Mackenzie~
this is such a sad and beautiful song with such a pretty tune
I wish I could listen to this song for the first time again.
I have never been able to make it through this song without crying...
My oldest when she was around would play this song as well 59th street bridge

I am crying incessantly.. I don't even completely understand the beautiful song
This song is so pretty and real I’ll never get tired of listening to it
He was a Christian navy cadet who died of cancer. A "blouse" is a fitted military jacket.
Interesting take, but I can't find anything to confirm that the narrator is talking about a he.
Nope...
And he takes and he takes and he takes
Such a good song
Thank you for the Lyrics❤️
Thanks for this post!
at :34 it's "he drove his car into the navy yard" not drove us down. think darker
Shit. I just realised this
What's dark about that?
@@kizbo
I believe the suggestion in that part of the lyrics is that her father killed himself in a car accident
im . losing my mind
Charlotte M But nothing ever happens..
