GHOSTS OF HALLELUJAH
|
|
Our candles are in danger from the way we carry them
|
So keep yer matches handy and wait to see if when
|
The ghosts of hallelujah trickle through the walls
|
brandishing the wrong words nail the cursings in the hall
|
|
The ghosts of hallelujah leave you there alone
|
counting bottles of medicine and longing for yer home
|
Don't forget the hands that made you
|
Don't forget yer lonely days
|
And soak yer heart in clover anytime you feel it sway
|
|
"I've got no harmless longings" at least that's what she said
|
As night came even closer to the bare hips of my bed
|
So temptation sings a slow song and wraps yer lust in shame
|
The women take on new lives as you swagger with the lame
|
|
The ghosts of hallelujah leave you there alone
|
Counting bottles of medicine and longing for yer home
|
Don't forget the hands that made you
|
Don't forget yer lonely days
|
And soak yer heart in clover anytime you feel it sway
|
