[verse 1]

Steel shovel all bones numb

Ten hours on a swollen limb

Picture some kinda better man

An undertakin’s got me warm again

Oh best kinda mess is my man

If God’s fist make right then we live in sin

Slammin’ doors only thanks He’ll get

Got lips on every bruise for droppin’ him

[chorus]

Well your time’s come around

A mother’s hands always knew your worth

Hush now, boy I’ll lay you down

Tell me where it hurts

[verse 2]

Girls, if he ever found me

Had sense enough just to take my hand

I’d more than empty shelves around me

Have Maid Marian to my thievin’ ass

And in the brightest dead of winter

‘Tween my selkie thighs it’s not so bad

We can savor every shiver

Whatever demon rocks him always got his back

[chorus]

Well your time’s come around

A mother’s hands always knew your worth

Hush now, boy I’ll lay you down

Tell me where it hurts

Well your time’s come around

A mother’s hands always knew your worth

Hush now, boy I’ll lay you down

Tell me where it hurts

[verse 3]

My man would never let go

Kept pace his mama’s pulse when he left home

If gods seen fit to bless me

These arms don’t tire so long as his to hold me

Hits different when I call him baby

No Father could make wings like these

Sing snow angel in my bed sheets

Such a man but a dream to me

[chorus]

Well your time’s come around

A mother’s hands always knew your worth

Hush now, boy I’ll lay you down

Tell me where it hurts

Well your time’s come around

A mother’s hands always knew your worth

Hush now, boy I’ll lay you down

Tell me where it hurts

Notes: Birthday challenge. I actually hadn’t heard of this artist until last night (earlier tonight?), so this is me bouncing off two songs, like three fun facts, vibes and instinct. Bit of a mouthful but I’m pretty sure I played this right.
