[Verse 1]
My name is Merriweather, I sing just like I see
The song that I'm living, grace has given me
The one that I love is here by my side
And I'll love this man wholly till this world sucks me dry

[Verse 2]
He watches over the roses that bloom in my soul
And all through the garden, his name does grow
The one that I lost is under the dust
And deeper he's buried as he learns of our love

[Verse 3]
My love drives on till morning, the devil behind
I talk of the colours filling my mind
He'll take on the demon, then keep him in chains
And smile as his ashes fly over the plains

[Verse 4]
My name is Merriweather, I sing just like I see
And all the hurried people ain't touching me
The one that I love is here by my side
And I'll love this man wholly till this world sucks me dry
Yes, I'll love this man wholly till this world sucks me dry
