Waiting for Ruth to Come Home - Jayber Crow[00:00:00]
Old Warren in the basement[00:00:20]
Working on an antique lamp[00:00:23]
His hands move to his chest[00:00:28]
To hold the heart attack[00:00:31]
He makes his way upstairs[00:00:36]
To reach the telephone[00:00:39]
But he does not call anyone[00:00:44]
No he's waiting for Ruth to come home[00:00:47]
Outside the leaves are turning[00:00:52]
To meet their deathbed on a breeze[00:00:56]
They wait in brilliant colors[00:01:01]
Warren settles to his knees[00:01:04]
The blood fills up his face as[00:01:09]
He sits there alone[00:01:13]
Rememb'ring quietly[00:01:17]
And waiting for Ruth to come home[00:01:21]
Don't wake the babe who sleeps next door[00:01:26]
Don't disturb neighbors[00:01:30]
With the siren's roar[00:01:32]
The eve is quiet[00:01:34]
I will be fine[00:01:36]
No need to fight this pain's delight[00:01:38]
Reminds me of the life I've lived[00:01:42]
And to me so much has been given[00:01:47]
Thanks be to God[00:01:51]
I've just one pleas[00:01:53]
If I[00:01:58]
Should die[00:02:02]
Let me in peace[00:02:06]
