(Dan Messe)
|
|
In the summer of my wedding
|
As the corn burned in the field
|
Oh I lay down for my Baby
|
And let the sweet smoke stain my heels
|
|
Well I lay there til the midnight
|
As the dogs, they run through town
|
And I rose up just to listen
|
And I never lay back down
|
|
I could hear them from my bedroom
|
Through the black wood on my floor
|
I could call out, hear them scatter
|
Running blindly past my door
|
|
Then the morning, it came upon me
|
And I set my soul to search
|
From the tall grass down the main road
|
To the stained glass at the church
|
|
Lord my shepherd help me pray
|
Though I left my heart to stray
|
Though I left my heart untrue
|
I can follow
|
I do
|
I do
|
|
I can name them in my dreaming
|
I can set my soul to rest
|
I can chain them to my body
|
Let them settle at my breast
|
|
Now see them coming to my wedding
|
Where I will teach them not to stray
|
Oh they'll carry my salvation
|
