terra spencer - at your service lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
in the hard grey chairs at the doctor’s office
me and a man with a terrible cough
it’s eleven am; the doctor is late
nothing there to do but wait

[verse 2]
he handed me a wrinkly business card
told me of his young years working hard
small engine repairs, tractors and mowers
back in the days when the world moved slower

[chorus]
he had loved every minute of the simple life
a lot less simple since he lost his wife
shе had died last june, her lungs full of cancеr
he took all the tests, he was waiting for answers
his hands were shaking; he looked so nervous
as he handed me the card that said, “at your service”

[verse 3]
at the funeral home, when the paperwork came
i remembered the card, i remembered his name
the obituary short, no next of kin
we only had to print a few bulletins
[verse 4]
for the half dozen people that had gathered there
fanning themselves in their hard grey chairs
workers from the home where the old man lived
sympathy cards with n0body to give

[chorus]
the minister comforted in their loss
then everybody rose for “the old rugged cross”
we carried him down to where the grass was mown
his wife and his son’s names carved in stone
as we covered the grave with a shovel of dirt
i remembered the card with the words, “at your service”
