Lady Be Kind 4:11

Lady Be Kind

This is for the patient man. The one who waits out the storm. The one who is there to pick up the pieces when it's over. lady be kind before you let go of the wild horses that have been driving you so they’re coming like thunder before a rain and they’ll roll me under carrying your pain you wear your reasons like an old gown cause they’ve held your back and they’ve never let you down

Sweeter Than Thee 3:01

Sweeter Than Thee

I wrote this song for my aunt who watched over my uncle with much grace as he struggled against the disease that eventually exhausted him. My grandmother had three "good husbands," and said she couldn't complain because how many women can say that! She cared for each at their bedside until the end. This is for all the women out there who are their man's last good link to the world.
