I’ll be your White Tail
Everywhere I look holds meaning
Stories on the walls
Stories in the cabinets
Stories from the clothes
How many hands have held this
Same deck of cards
Lost and gained a nickel fortune
Over pots of homemade soup
How many times has this place
Soothed a tired soul
How I wish I could listen in
Share laugh or two
Throw my arms around your mama
And thank your father to his face
Will we be color … in a will be time
Like the days of black and white
Will we be albums tagged on screens
Like cursive on the back, read in candle light
Will our time be marked in ink
Saved in a cloud
Alongside the others, a lifetime right
Will our names carry on forever
After we are gone
I want my picture there beside you
Your brand on my heart
I wanna be your white tail
I wanna be the one you hunt
No blood trail needed
Your arrow found my heart
I dropped on the spot
I wanna be your gold metal
You can hang me on the wall
Can I be the one in the record book
Your proudest one yet
I wanna make your year
And your years to come to birth
Can I be the one that makes it worth
You don’t have to chase me
I’ll come bed down by your tree
Will we be color … in a will be time
Like the days of black and white
Will we be albums tagged on screens
Like cursive on the back, read in candle light
Will our time be marked in ink
Saved in a cloud
Alongside the others, a lifetime right
Will our names carry on forever
After we are gone
I want my picture there beside you
Your brand on my heart
You said I’d love this place
I knew I would hearing you speak
It cast its’ spell over me
The wind through the trees
The sunlight shining down warm
Even as snow falls to the ground
Your eyes clear and blue
In the place you love
Your heart burning bright
Fingers and toes numb
Here my heart fell in love with you
I’d spend a thousand lifetimes
In life with skin, in death with spirit,
My heart whispers… I do
Will we be color … in a will be time
Like the days of black and white
Will we be albums tagged on screens
Like cursive on the back, read in candle light
Will our time be marked in ink
Saved in a cloud
Alongside the others, a lifetime right
Will our names carry on forever
After we are gone
I want my picture there beside you
Your brand on my heart
I want my skin next to yours
I want my heart close to yours
I want to lay my head
Forever on your chest
I want my dust with yours
When we come to rest
All these stories around me
I want to be in too
I’m here with you
Sometimes I can’t believe
I should pinch myself
But I’d wake up in this dream
A life with you, in this place
My picture there beside you
In the family frame
Will we be color … in a will be time
Like the days of black and white
Will we be albums tagged on screens
Like cursive on the back, read in candle light
Will our time be marked in ink
Saved in a cloud
Alongside the others, a lifetime right
Will our names carry on forever
After we are gone
I want my picture there beside you
Your brand on my heart
