Carsie Blanton - Wedding Song lyrics

This morning you sat in a kitchen chair Remembering the life that had led you there The beauty that saved you and gave you the gift of despair How the (coastal?) lost made you deaf to the things that could heal you How it all came down to the day when you held him as close as you could But his body was heavy as wood And it hurt you to go But you knew he could no longer feel you And all of the joy in you turned to stone Left you a specter of flesh and bone And you had to submit to the sadness of staying alone But the anger you felt was a satellite And shot through the atmosphere burning bright Left you exhausted and softened, too tired for spite And one thing led to another and one day followed the last And it all came down to the day when he held you as close you cared And your body was lighter than air And pure as the rain as you emptied your pain out into the past And all of the joy you'd been frightened of rose like a halo to linger above And you had to submit to the sweetness of staying in love So open your arms to a love we'll give Say thanks for the good life you've come to live For the sorrow that (?) us and shows us the strength to forgive
