《Gone Like The Cotton》歌词

[00:00:01] Gone Like The Cotton - The Cox Family

[00:00:07] I dreamed she recalls when they were first married

[00:00:16] A home man children to raise

[00:00:24] The work of her smile and the faith that she carries

[00:00:33] It's a blessing that still kills today

[00:00:41] When due the cold he was yielding end callous

[00:00:50] But for her love his only display

[00:00:58] He weathered his storms in a church house he'd tell us

[00:01:07] And at his table for God's grace he'd pray

[00:01:14] Now they're gone just like the cotton

[00:01:22] And their valleys are filled full of stone

[00:01:30] No hearth to burn, the home for their candle

[00:01:38] And the light from their window is still

[00:01:45] Gone but never forgotten

[00:01:53] Their words carve a silent appeal

[00:02:00] I long to return to your daddy and mama

[00:02:08] And someday you know I will

[00:02:16] Time is always her treasure

[00:02:23] When we seem so far away

[00:02:30] And my heart aches for life's simple pleasure

[00:02:38] I'll go down that old lane that I walk through my memory

[00:02:46] Until I can come home to stay

[00:02:53] gone just like the cotton

[00:03:00] And their valleys are filled full of stone

[00:03:08] No hearth to burn, the home for their candle

[00:03:16] And the light from their window is still

[00:03:23] Gone but never forgotten

[00:03:31] Their words carve a silent appeal

[00:03:38] I long to return to your daddy and mama

[00:03:46] And someday you know I will
