I lie awake on this phone call, she's dreaming of better days
|
Flowers lie on the counter, remind her of better days
|
|
She sends a prayer up to Jesus
|
And she asks him for his strength
|
And the night will go on bleeding
|
Was it faith that paid the rent?
|
|
*And I know you’re barely listening
|
I know you’re barely listening
|
I know you’re barely listening
|
Now I know you’re….
|
I know you’re barely listening
|
I know you’re barely listening
|
I know you’re barely listening
|
Now I know you’re….
|
|
Standing here in a doorway with a candle and a gun
|
The light tears through open windows
|
For now the day has won
|
|
[Repeat *]
|
|
Like a child on her way here
|
You just smile and run the other way
|
And faith won’t find you a reason
|
It just smiles and runs the other way
|
And It just smiles….
|
It just smiles and runs the other way
|
It just smiles….
|
It just smiles and then runs the other way
|
|
(scat singing)
|
It’s not worth waiting
|
|
[Repeat *]
|
|
you can't shape love with a hammer,
|
and you can't shape love with a will,
|
what horror lies in knowing there's no faith that chaos can't kill
|
