Beside You from The Wilderness by Jesse DeNatale

BESIDE YOU

In a town in Mexico
Just before a big rainstorm
They were huddled
On the floor
When the baby child
Was born
And the wind blew so hard
Everyone had to leave
Left the baby and a little
Picture of St. Anthony

Oh the pain and the joy
Fallin’ rain it’s a boy
Took a priest just to say
I will stay beside you

Heard my dad had a job
In some uptown club
Met a senorita at the door
And they fell in love

They would dance very wild
And by chance had a child
And he turned with a smile
And said I will stay
Beside you

In the silence of a
Big city motel room
Mary sat humming
Billie Holiday’s tune

Stormy night lucky charm
With a needle in your arm
I can help I can harm
But I will stay beside you

After all of this you and I
Come to Lovers Ledge
I had thought a lot before
I could give my pledge.

All the rain underground
One way up one way down
One way up no way round
And I go on beside you
