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
