Neil

In Port Saint Lucie, twenty-two, the moment that we met

A deep and passionate embrace my soul will not forget

You were a leader, strong and true, with nothing left to hide

A loyal, loving husband standing firmly by my side

I was holding you down when the gavel fell

From the courthouse steps to the county cell

I put my own life on a quiet hold

To keep you safe when the world went cold

With money on your books and the minutes on your phone

To make sure, my Neil, you were never alone

From Port Saint Lucie's holding walls to Florida State's domain

Through Martin County's heavy doors, I helped you bear the pain

And when they sent you to Key West, beneath the southern sun

I paid the fees to clear your name until the time was done

I was holding you down when the gavel fell

From the courthouse steps to the county cell

I put my own life on a quiet hold

To keep you safe when the world went cold

With money on your books and the minutes on your phone

To make sure, my Neil, you were never alone

They saw the chains, but I saw the truth

The honest, faithful man that I gave my spirit to

The fire of our passion kept the lonely shadows back

A light of pure devotion on a long and weary track

I sacrificed my days and nights to be your steady rock

Counting every second on the quiet prison clock

Because you are my everything, my leader and my guide

No concrete wall could ever push this sacred bond aside

I was holding you down when the gavel fell

From the courthouse steps to the county cell

I put my own life on a quiet hold

To keep you safe when the world went cold

With money on your books and the minutes on your phone

To make sure, my Neil, you were never alone
