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 Mononga to the mine
Through king coal's hall to the wall that I pine
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
But Darlin', sorry for the wait

When you miss talkin' at me, holler t'wards 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
