Sorry for the Wait

I ran these hills since the day I could stand And I worked the mines since the year I turned ten We got married and danced to "Canon in D" And I held our baby with your eyes, at seventeen And I kissed you goodbye beneath the December sky Then I walked to work through Monongah to the mine Through King Coal's Hall, to the wall that I pike That day cut short, a spark by the divine So, don't go weeping so long Sing the melody of our song 'Cause I'm back in the clay Where I'll find you someday Ohh, but darlin', sorry for the wait When you miss talkin' at me, holler towards the mine It's amazing, how your voice echoes inside When the winter breeze tugs at your hair Just know that it's me, with a grin, standing there So, don't go weeping so long Sing the melody of our song 'Cause I'm back in the clay Where I'll find you someday Oh, my darlin', sorry for the wait So, don't go weeping so long Sing the melody of our song 'Cause I'm back in the clay Where I'll find you someday So, don't go weeping so long Sing the melody of our song 'Cause I'm back in the clay Where I'll find you someday Oh, my darlin', sorry for the wait Yes, I'm sorry for the wait Oh, darlin', sorry for the wait
