Waking up, and the bed was made
 no one looked me in the eye
 the more I try, the more I cry
 and it’s all for the best
 
 Watched my brother cutting grass outside
 sitting on the porch he told me
 it’s a long way to go before we can rest
 but it’s all for the best
 
 You’re so beautiful it sings
 on a lonely lazy morning
 and when I see you rocking back and forth
 whispering that it’s all for the best
 
 One day the stone will roll away
 soon you’ll see
 you’re far away from home but never far away from me
 and that’s all for the best
 
 
 …and say you love me
 Promise me, son, not to do the things I’ve done
 walk away from trouble at the end of the day
 Promise me, son, not to do the things I’ve done
 walk away from trouble at the end of the day
 
 Say you love me
 say you love me
