Bainbridge Valley Saint

Verse 1

Sunday porch was paint and pine

Stronger than any mountain vine

Five small faces at the door

Wanted much but you gave more

She'd count those heads like morning light

Keeping the cold from every night

Pre-Chorus

She never once complained

Through the winter ice and rain

Hands rough but her heart was steady

For whatever world was ready

Chorus

Oh Nancy

You built a house out of hollowed clay

In that Bainbridge valley

Where the five of us still pray

The kitchen feels quiet now

Without your apron on the chair

We see you in the sunrise

Still guiding us everywhere

Everywhere

Verse 2

Rose kept the flowers in the yard

Frankie found the working hard

Cathy has your quiet way

While Timmy talks through half the day

Then Glenn became a taller man

Just like you always said he can

Pre-Chorus

The Ohio sky turns gray

Since they carried you away

Faith deep as the rolling river

All the love you had to deliver

Chorus

Oh Nancy

You built a house out of hollowed clay

In that Bainbridge valley

Where the five of us still pray

The kitchen feels quiet now

Without your apron on the chair

We see you in the sunrise

Still guiding us everywhere

Everywhere

Bridge

Softly spoken

Never broken

A gentle wind through the sycamore

Opening one final door

Going home to find some rest

Putting all your chores to the chest

Chorus

Oh Nancy

You built a house out of hollowed clay

In that Bainbridge valley

Where the five of us still pray

The kitchen feels quiet now

Without your apron on the chair

We see you in the sunrise

Still guiding us everywhere

Everywhere
