Strand Of Oaks - Mourning Worker Lyrics

Strand Of Oaks Lyrics

"Mourning Worker"

Have a glass of wine
For the man who takes care us
And gets up much more early
Than we do

Lower your head to his wife
In condolence
Knowing she must face this
Alone

Please talk to us now
We're in the shade
Please show us how
To serve

Ask him what he loves
And what he still needs
The simple and secure
Things

Now he's not at his farm
Or with the children
Oh how he loved to help
And serve

Please talk to us now
We're in the shade
Please show us how
To serve

Please talk to us now
We're in the shade
Please show us how
To serve
