Julia Johns (UK) - Funny Ways

about

"There was a time when about half a dozen songs appeared on YT about children, new babies, and family dedications.
Not one song about older children
I wrote Funny Ways as a dedication to my son who tirelessly helped me turn an uninhabitable farm cottage into the home in which I now live"

lyrics

Come in from the rain my love
Let me take your hand
You’ve been working for so long
Upon this barren land

Step out of those muddy boots
put down your rod and gun
turn n look at what God gave us
And all that we have done.

We’ve turned the earth for days on end
And worn out many a barrow
I’ve watched you stay awake all night
For the sake of a baby sparrow

I think you know I’ve missed you
You’ve been gone so many days
And I think that you have missed me too
Despite my funny ways

So come in from the rain my love
And sit down by the fire
See ancient stories in the flames
Of reckless love and desire

And know that when you leave again
Maybe visit foreign shores
I will always wait for you
To walk back through that door

Your life is changing now
And a husband you will be
I wish you love and I thank you
For all that you gave to me

Take your bride and love her now
until the end of your days
And forgive her endlessly
For all her funny ways
And forgive her endlessly
For all her funny ways
