my name.
We ll store up in the autumn months and party in the spring,
We ll lay away those summer days on white sand by the sea,
We ll fall asleep when the snow begins to come down.
[Verse 2]
Then the day will come when her stomach starts to grow,
We ll freak about the million things we don t already know,
We ll give them names after my favourite hockey players... if it s ok.
Their cribs will fill our morning but by noon they ll be in school,
Their teenage years will come and go and by the rising of the moon they ll settle down,
With someone else who shares their name now.
(x2 slowing down and holding on F....)
[Verse 3]
And when our shoulders like old wooden fences lean towards the ground,
The grandkids grow like rocketships, shootinâ to the clouds,
Her hair is grey but her blue eyes never shone so proud.
When the Lord comes calling and we have to say goodbye,
I ll rest her in the ground if I m the one whoâs left behind,
Whisper goodnight wait patiently for
My white light...
...to come. mmm-hmmm
...To come.
