andrew duhon - patricia and her man lyrics

[verse 1]
patricia found out her fairytale had floated away
and it broke her apart like her grandmother’s porcelain plates
and all patricia’s family and all patricia’s friends
couldn’t put patricia back together again

[verse 2]
well, she loved a west virginian who didn’t own an acre of land
he had sawdust in his eyes and coal dust on his hands
he held her in the winter and he was all she knew of a man
but a family so soon wasn’t what patricia had planned

[chorus]
but he said oh weary one
won’t you lay yourself down soon
you’ve got a long hard road
but baby i can take it with you
i know your heart’s worn down
and your faith it tears you in two
but its times like these
when believing’s the least you can do

[verse 3]
when patricia’s feeling worn out
he goes and buys whatever’s in bloom
he says “these days you know, you let grow whatever gets through”
when he walks in the door, she falls down on her knees
she says “i don’t know if i can stand more days like these.”
[pre+chorus]
he says time is a casualty
and there’s nothing to heal the wounds
and you can’t just go carving away
at pieces that ain’t never been bruised

[chorus]
and he says oh weary one
won’t you lay yourself down soon
you’ve got a long hard road
but baby i can take it with you
i know you’re heart’s worn down
and your faith it tears you in two
but its times like these
when believing’s the least you can do

[bridge]
oh but there’s times when even he
falls ‘neath the weight of his mind
he says babe i’d wage wars for you
but these wages can’t support a child

[chorus]
and she says oh weary one
won’t you lay yourself down soon
you’ve got a long hard road
but baby i’ll be right there with you
babe your heart’s worn down
well babe my heart’s worn down too
but its times like these
when believin’s the least you can do
[outro]
patricia reads her daughter the fairytales her mother would say
and virginia just smiles, fair as grandmother’s porcelain plates
