[00:00:00] Lydia (Live) - Slaid Cleaves

[00:00:09] Lydie lit a cigarette today

[00:00:15] Ancient fumbling fingers in her way

[00:00:21] From a forty year old coffee cup she sipped a bit of gin

[00:00:28] Closed her eyes and let the memories in

[00:00:33] She lives in the old place all alone

[00:00:39] Keeps in touch with neighbours by the phone

[00:00:45] Grows herbs on the graves of her firstborn and his father

[00:00:52] And the coal trucks never bother her

[00:00:58] Oh Lydie let him go the boy is gone

[00:01:04] Her mother struggled as she tore him from her arms

[00:01:10] Oh Lydie your tears are heaven's rain

[00:01:17] But she never was the same

[00:01:23] A cotton dress and satin shoes

[00:01:30] Indian summer sun dressed in amber hues

[00:01:36] Spending time with a coal miner's son

[00:01:43] To an old time fiddle tune

[00:01:49] The months went by just like a breeze that year

[00:01:55] They wed in June and by the fall the boy was here

[00:02:00] Word come down from big stone there's a fire in the mine

[00:02:08] And eleven men they couldn't find

[00:02:13] Oh lydie let him go the boy is gone

[00:02:20] Her mother struggled as she tore him from her arms

[00:02:26] Oh Lydie your tears are heaven's rain

[00:02:33] But she never was the same

[00:03:06] She watched them pull him from the hole

[00:03:12] The overalls he wore were blackened by the smoke

[00:03:17] Lydie twice had this dream and twice it had come true

[00:03:25] And when she saw his father's boots she knew

[00:03:31] Oh Lydie let him go the boy is gone

[00:03:37] Her mother struggled as she tore him from her arms

[00:03:43] Oh Lydie your tears are heaven's rain

[00:03:51] But she never was the same

[00:04:00] Lydie lit a cigarette today

[00:04:06] Ancient fumbling fingers in her way

[00:04:12] From a forty year old coffee cup she sipped a bit of gin

[00:04:20] Closed her eyes and let the memories in
