《Waiting for Ruth to Come Home》歌词

[00:00:00] Waiting for Ruth to Come Home - Jayber Crow

[00:00:20] Old Warren in the basement

[00:00:23] Working on an antique lamp

[00:00:28] His hands move to his chest

[00:00:31] To hold the heart attack

[00:00:36] He makes his way upstairs

[00:00:39] To reach the telephone

[00:00:44] But he does not call anyone

[00:00:47] No he's waiting for Ruth to come home

[00:00:52] Outside the leaves are turning

[00:00:56] To meet their deathbed on a breeze

[00:01:01] They wait in brilliant colors

[00:01:04] Warren settles to his knees

[00:01:09] The blood fills up his face as

[00:01:13] He sits there alone

[00:01:17] Rememb'ring quietly

[00:01:21] And waiting for Ruth to come home

[00:01:26] Don't wake the babe who sleeps next door

[00:01:30] Don't disturb neighbors

[00:01:32] With the siren's roar

[00:01:34] The eve is quiet

[00:01:36] I will be fine

[00:01:38] No need to fight this pain's delight

[00:01:42] Reminds me of the life I've lived

[00:01:47] And to me so much has been given

[00:01:51] Thanks be to God

[00:01:53] I've just one pleas

[00:01:58] If I

[00:02:02] Should die

[00:02:06] Let me in peace
