Dean Denoue

Lyrics

She was
Born on a farm
Without indoor plumbing
Her dad cut the trees
For their very first telephone poles
After milking cows
She would walk the mile to school
And hoped that her friends wouldn't mention
The smell of barn

He was a pilot
From the college in the city
When they met on that dance floor
Her chest about burst a button
When he whisked her away
It felt like salvation
She sits taller in her wheelchair now as she remembers how it was
Wishing she could go back to be with him

When she buried her pilot
She buried herself in work
Became a champion for charity
Picking pockets with her charm
After each long day
She'd come home to be alone
And hoped that her donors wouldn't notice
How much she drank

He was a statesman
With first class worldwide tickets
When they met at that fundraiser
Her chest about burst a button
When he whisked her away
It felt like salvation
She sits taller in her wheelchair now as she remembers how it was
Wishing she could go back to be with him

He was an angel
Not from this earth
When they met in that in between space
Her heart stopped wide open
When he whisked her away
It was salvation
Freed from her wheelchair now she remembers how it was
No longer wishing she could go back
Now she's with Him
She's with Him
