Care

[Verse 1] We woke to our neighbor’s cries The sting of smoke in our sleepy eyes & I said baby better get dressed Get the dog we can leave the rest [Verse 2] By the time we got downstairs The fire engines were already there And you were shaking you were so scared I held you and kissed your smoky hair [Refrain] That’s when I knew That I could take care of you [Verse 3] And when my best friend died From the cancer that ate him inside I got drunk and I stayed that way For several nights into several days [Verse 4] For the times I was aware What I remember is that you were there You held my head and I cried and cried You called our jobs and you lied and lied [Refrain] That’s when I could see The way you take care of me
