[Intro] (x2) [Verse 1]    Say say somethin’ nice to her fragrant and sturdier Delicate hands for shoulders sliding down    Days days like a summer rain blink and they’re gone again Soakin’ she   sits alone outside and down [Chorus]   Prays prays for her soldier boy in fire and angry noise Under the   thumb of the Lord   And waits quiltin’ and quietly her minor piano keys Slip through the   screen on the door [Instrumental] (x2) (x2) [Verse 2]    Say say what you mean to her washing her colander Eyes on the   stranger cresting around the bend    Days days like the winter snow linger ’til heaven knows Naked she   sings the table grace and then [Chorus]   Prays prays for her soldier boy in fire and angry noise Under the   thumb of the Lord   And waits quiltin’ and quietly her minor piano keys Slip through the   screen on the door [Outro] (x2)
