lyrics

Josiah hold my hand,
You’re my only loving man
Josiah hold my hand

After your love, I can be sent up above
So Josiah, hold my hand

He said foolin round is just for fools,
That's why I’ll stick with you
Said you wanna love that’s sweet and strong
Try not to fret so long, Try not to fret so long

He baked the peaches and ate the cream,
He built the damn to break the stream
Split the lid to my emptiness
Swims up close to lift my dress

After your love, I can be sent up above
So Josiah, hold my hand

But like a holy bucket in a junkyard pile,
It's a southern love to suck you dry
That gentle touch won’t ease no pain
But my Josiah’s not to blame

Cause little lucy gave up the fight
Caught her hangin round the trees at night
Picked up her body from the ground
Little lucy didn’t make a sound

And I knew just with that, that I wasn’t coming back,
So Josiah, understand

To hold arose to lay at rest
Despite the trials that ain’t a test
To wither soul right from the vine
And to croak love to passing grime
To never speak to her again,
That baby girl, my disturbed friend
Is such a toll it will defeat
That bought of love that empty seed
Although that girl was defiled greed
I’d pick her up each time she’d plead
Never did I see her bleed,
‘Till that ambulance began to lead her away

Josiah hold my hand
You’re my only loving man
So Josiah, hold my hand

Sometimes I think, but don’t pretend,
That I was not a toxic friend
At night my love still hears me moan,
And cuts the pain right from the bone
And cuts the pain right from the bone

Josiah hold my hand,
You’re my only loving man
So Josiah, hold my man

After your love, I can be sent up above
So Josiah, hold my hand
