"Family" - Pierce Pettis

One of Pierce Pettis' best:

"Can you fix this
Its a broken heart
It was fine
Can you fix this
Its a broken heart
It was fine
Then it just fell apart
It was mine
But now I give it to you
Cause you can fix it
You know what to do

Let your love cover me
Like a pair of angel wings
You are my family
You are my family

We stood outside
In the summer rain
Different people
With a common pain
A simple box
In that hard red clay
Where we left him
To always remain

[CHORUS]

The child who played
With the moon and stars
Waves a snatch of hay
In a common barn
In the lonely house
Of Adam's fall
Lies a child
Just a child that's all ... crying

[CHORUS]"

Could not find a Pettis video but Dar Williams does a superb version:
