William and Wanda

William, where you been?

I've been waiting on you since only God knows when

William, come on in

There's so much to do, so glad to see you again

I haven't been worried so much as I've been anxious

I haven't been sad for the reason in the rhyme

I haven't been crying, that's something that don't happen

I believed you'd make it here in your sweet time

William, I've so much to say

I started us a garden when I got here that June day

William, c'mon this way

Meet our little boy that died on his birthday

We haven't been worried so much as we've been anxious

We haven't been sad for the reason in the rhyme

We haven't been crying, that's something that don't happen

I told 'em you'd be up here some sweet time

Wanda, quit picking at me

I've been running late since 1953

Wanda, slow down, just be

Hold my hand while I rock this boy to sleep

I haven't been worried so much as I've been anxious

I've been sad, but there's reason in the rhyme

And I've done a lot of crying, that's something that just happens

I just hoped I'd make it up here some sweet time
