I dug you up this morning and took you home
To have you here beside me cold but close,
I made my mind up last night that heaven just can't have you

I made you breakfast but you would not eat,
So I took your black dress off and washed you clean
I made my mind up last night that heaven just can't have you

The sheets are creased from your last day,
A silhouette of where you lay
They'll find your headstone in the yard with your black dress and my guitar
I'll carry you back to your grave where you and I will always stay
I close the casket, it gets dark, they'll find us in each others arms
