about

This song picks up where "When The Hammer Falls' leaves off. It is my promise to my wife that I will always be there; that I will provide a life for us as we grow older.

lyrics

I'm happy when I'm down here with the weeds up to my knees
And so condescending to all the people that I meet
Wink at me and I will tell you all the secrets in my mind
'Cause there's not another living person who has done it to me quite so kind
Your sugar is the sweetest thing my body has ever known
That's why I'm here to court you honey
Hold you tight and take us home

I'm craving some refreshment; some buttermilk or tea
You've got everything in your cupboard that will bring me to my knees
I don't have to wonder – I don't have to pray
'Cause I already know all those wonderful things that you're going to say
You are my angel – you are my equal soul
That's why I'm here to court you honey
Hold you tight and take us home

I've combed through the valleys – I've searched the highest peaks
When looking here and there but all the while I was asleep
And if I ever lose you I'd surely lose myself
When I look into the mirror I see you and nobody else
You give me such delight – my love for you keeps growing
That's why I'm here to court you honey
Hold you tight and take us home

I've come to realize this thing that is called love
I stop and question all that which comes from above
So lean with me gently and capture all the light
You come to me so sincere with honesty in sight
The heat you emanate soothes me to the bone
That's why I'm here to court you honey
Hold you tight and take us home
