lyrics

Prayer of the Mourner Part I
This is the prayer of a mourner proud,
Running two by two gonna bring me down.
And though the prayer is simple peace divine,
When the peace seems shallow hate feels nice.
This is the story of a boy who’s run,
Too far from the home where he belongs.
Unused to the cold and dark he cried,
But his voice was swallowed by the night.
And this is a girl too good to judge.
It’s the pretty ones I would not touch.
You can spit your words from the jury booth,
And guilty, guilty they’ll all run on after you.
Chorus:
They’ll scream that I don’t know that much,
Say I don’t know that much at all,
They’ll say I don’t know that much,
Maybe, I don’t know that much at all.
And I’m not so sick as the one you love.
Remember how your long legs used to run?
Take cover under summer skies,
To keep the sunlight out your eyes.
Chorus:
They’ll scream that I don’t know that much,
Say I don’t know that much at all,
They’ll say I don’t know that much,
Maybe, I don’t know that much at all.
