00:01There were winters when the cupboard held nothing but our prayers
00:04Snow drifting through the floorboards, frostbiting in the air
00:07I carried callous knuckles and an empty pocketbook home
00:11Feeling like a broken man defeated to the bone
00:14You never cursed the wind once, you never looked away
00:17You just pulled that ragged blanket close and swore we'd see
00:20The day we traded youth for mortgage notes and dreams for bags of flour
00:23Lord knows you held this roof up right through every dying hour
00:27They say the time's a thief, babe, that steals a young girl's grace
00:30Lord, they ain't seen the holy light that shines across your face
00:33Every gray hair in your crown is a battle we survived
00:36And darling, you're the reason that this weary soul's alive
00:42Cause when the world came crashing down upon my crooked spine
00:45You were the only steady rock in this damn life of mine
00:49You walked through valleys made of ash, we drowned in debt and tears
00:52But you loved me through the broken times and all the hungry years
00:55If I got one breath left to give, I swear to God above
00:58Ain't a mountain on this earth that's stronger than your love
01:04I look at you across the room, sunlight on your sleeve
01:08Folding up worn cotton shirts, still making me believe
01:11We got some lines around our eyes from laughing through the hurt
01:14Thirty years of walking roads of gravel, stone and dirt
01:17I ain't the easiest to hold, I've got my father's pride
01:20A stubborn heart that strays sometimes onto the darker side
01:23But every time I lost a trail and stumbled in the black
01:27It was your lantern in the window that brought this sinner back
01:33Cause when the world came crashing down upon my crooked spine
01:36You were the only steady rock in this damn life of mine
01:40You walked through valleys made of ash, we drowned in debt and tears
01:43But you loved me through the broken times and all the hungry years
01:46If I got one breath left to give, I swear to God above
01:49Ain't a mountain on this earth that's stronger than your love
01:58Let the stormy skies turn black as coal
02:02Let the cold rain wash the hill
02:04As long as I've got your warm hand, darling, let's all do what it will
02:11Cause when the world came crashing down upon my crooked spine
02:14You were the only steady rock in this damn life of mine
02:18We walked through valleys made of ash, we drowned in debt and tears
02:21Cause you loved me through the broken times and all the hungry years
02:24If I got one breath left to give, I swear to God above
02:27Ain't a mountain on this earth that's stronger than your love
02:37Yeah, through the lean years and the cold
02:41Thank you for loving this broken soul
02:44And as long as I thought, I swear to God above
02:45The Dark Half
02:46Sin
02:46Sin
