lyrics

Lord, lead me to a downtown pay phone
Loose change filling my fingertips
And if it drops there’s nothing left to conjure up
The ghost of that sweet love I left
Clutching flowers to her dress

I remember that fire-swept hillside
Copper wire running through your lips
As you raised your voice
To the night sky
I ran and I ran
And I never looked back

And I covered you
In the spring tide
I folded you into the past
But the flies kept singing
Above the rotting floorboards
Where I once reached gingerly
For your hand

Now I am roaring like the Lion of Judah
There’s a saviour rising in the west
And he’s casting judgments from a crying letter
I wrote as I trembled with bitterness
And those drunken revellers
Swayed in my head

Gold is breaking
Through the misty morning
I’m escaping into the ether
Bare skin is shaking
As the fading streetlight’s
Glowing faintly like the strands of her hair

Lord, lead me by your sapphire angels
Lead me by her rising chest
Lead me to those sweet still waters
Where the pale moon’s
Lighting up my baby’s breath
