[Verse 1] I woke up bent in half Under that roller coaster Ninety-one and still You need me closer I fold the sheet back neat Check the home nurse’s chart One more careful call One more held-together heart [Pre-Chorus] I’m tired to the bone But I don’t let go I keep the lamp on low And I move real slow [Chorus] Under the roller coaster I keep on standing still Under the roller coaster I do it for your will And when the day gets heavy I hear a softer phrase My hammock in the garden Will bring me back someday [Verse 2] The kettle sings its steam By the sink in the morning I sign the forms, I smile While my back keeps warning The home help knows her name And how she likes her tea I thank them with my eyes For the hands that help with me [Pre-Chorus] I’m worn, but I’m here With my steady feet I leave the fear outside And I keep the beat [Chorus] Under the roller coaster I keep on standing still Under the roller coaster I do it for your will And when the day gets heavy I hear a softer phrase My hammock in the garden Will bring me back someday [Bridge] Then I see my summer beans Climbing up the frame My own green little world Calling out my name A slow swing in the shade A blue sky overhead I lean back, breathe in deep And let the whole day mend [Chorus] Under the roller coaster I keep on standing still Under the roller coaster I do it for your will And when the day gets heavy I hear a softer phrase My hammock in the garden Will bring me back someday [Outro] I trust the road ahead Even when it bends My mother in good hands And love that never ends
