Dawes - Bear Witness Lyrics
You can put them on the counterThere with all the other flowersAnd help me figure out how to turn off this TVI'm glad you made the visitAnd if you think you have a minuteYou should sit and talk until it's time to leaveIs my granddaughter RuthieStill working at the movies?Does she still let all her boyfriends in for free?Does she still stare out of the front doorAs she's serving people popcornAnd talk about how nice today was supposed to be?Ohhhhh, That's the love that I came to bear witness toOhhhhh, And the love I'm taking with me when I goDid you notice walking overAt the house down at the cornerThere's a dog behind a window that doesn't moveI've seen him staring in the morningsI've seen him staring in the eveningsAs if time stops ‘til his master's in the roomOhhhhh, That's the love that I came to bear witness toOhhhhh, And the love I'm taking with me when I goSome nights get worse than othersAnd I start thinking about your motherAnd she's here with me as far as I can tellAs if the world revealed it's secretAnd it's asking me to keep itLike a kid that hears the ocean in a shellAnd that's the love that I came to bear witness toAnd the love I'm taking with me when I goOhhhhh, That's the love that I came to bear witness toOhhhhh, And the love I'm taking with me when I go
