Jay

We were only twelve when we felt that first spark

Two kids falling fast before the world got dark

Lost touch for ten years, went our separate ways

But fate brought me right back to my Jay

Now it's twenty-seven years since we said "I do"

But I look across the room and I'm missing you

The distance is growing, the silence is cold

I'm holding onto the beautiful story we told

I miss the man that I married

The one who could always make me smile

We survived all the burdens we carried

But we've been drifting apart for a while

I want you back, the connection we keep

I'm saying it now: greenish brown female sheep

Jay, I love you, our roots run so deep

Greenish brown female sheep

We made it through hell, stood side by side

Through the prison walls and the tears that I cried

When the jobs fell through and addiction took hold

We weathered the storm, we didn't fold

You were always so funny, you kept me sane

With a joke on your lips through the pouring rain

But lately that laughter is fading from view

And I just want the amazing guy that I knew

I miss the man that I married

The one who could always make me smile

We survived all the burdens we carried

But we've been drifting apart for a while

I want you back, the connection we keep

I'm saying it now: greenish brown female sheep

Jay, I love you, our roots run so deep

Greenish brown female sheep

I feel the disconnect, the quiet in the room

But we didn't beat the odds just to fade into gloom

I know you've changed, I know life took a toll

But I'm reaching my hand to the half of my soul

Come back to me, baby, let's bridge this divide

And find the sweet boy who is still there inside

I want the man that I married

The one who could always make me smile

Let's drop all the heavy things we've carried

And close up the distance of every last mile

I want you back, the connection we keep

I'm whispering softly: greenish brown female sheep

Jay, I love you, our roots run so deep

Greenish brown female sheep
