Coyote Grace - Picture Frame lyrics

I was there in the room The day my baby died And oh, how she cried Wrapped up in her cloak of darkness She saw a brighter light on the other side She cried, “Oh Mama, I can't live this lie” Then, she was gone with a smile CHORUS: Well, I buried her in a picture frame The dust grows thick now upon her name But I love her still the same I was there in the room The day my baby was born And oh, how he cried He birthed himself out of the darkness A newborn manchild fell into my world Chest filled with pride to have him by my side Though it k**ed my baby girl [Chorus] My heart wears a veil of mourning A painted smile on my face A million memories of soft skin & angel songs Even time cannot erase I was there in the room The day my baby said Goodbye And oh how I cried He traded in my pinks for a stranger's blues My skin ain't home to him anymore He cried, “Oh Mama, I can't live this lie” My heart just walked right out the door CHORUS: Well, I buried her in a picture frame The dust grows thick now upon her name But I love her still the same And there ain't no one to blame But I'll never be the same
