This is how I tell it
|
Oh, but it's long
|
One Sunday morning
|
Oh, one son is gone
|
|
I can see where they're dawning
|
Over the sea
|
My father said what I had become
|
No-one should be
|
|
Outside I look lived in
|
Like the bones in a shrine
|
How am I forgiven?
|
Oh, I'll give it time
|
|
This, I learned without warning
|
Holding my brow
|
In time he thought I would kill him
|
Oh, but I didn't know how
|
|
I said it's your god I don't believe in
|
No, your Bible can't be true
|
Knocked down by the long life
|
He cried, 'I fear what waits for you'
|
|
I can hear those bells
|
Spoken and gone
|
I feel relief, I feel well
|
Now he knows he was wrong
|
|
I am cold for my father
|
Frozen underground
|
Jesus, I wouldn't bother
|
He belongs to me now
|
|
Something sad keeps moving
|
So I wandered around
|
I fell in love with the burden
|
Holding me down
|
|
Bless my mind, I miss
|
Being told how to live
|
What I learned without knowing
|
How much more that I owe that I can give
|
|
This is how I tell it
|
Oh, but it's long
|
One Sunday morning
|
One son is gone
|
