lyrics

Prayer of the Mourner Part II
Tell me does God know,
That I found his lover dying?
Does he know we breathe the air?
Does he know we won’t stop trying?
But tell me what you know,
About summer dresses, flowing.
I love how perfect eyelids speak,
Or hide what crystal eyes might show me.
Chorus:
I don’t know that much.
No, I don’t know that much at all.
I don’t know that much.
No, I don’t know that much at all.
Baby, maybe I don’t know that much at all.
I don’t that much.
No, I don’t know that much at all.
‘Cause I don’t know that much,
No, I don’t know that much at all.
This my friends is life worth taking,
Push my luck but please don’t break it.
I think that this goes to show
That we can make it on our own.
Electric lights like chandeliers,
And everything becomes so clear.
I think that it’s safe to go,
No matter what the trees will grow.
I think that this goes to show
Love lights the way and paves the road.
She holds her breath ‘till she bleeds blue;
Go cut your arms and you will too.
No matter what the sparks will fly
And powder white will suit your eyes,
The mourner prays for what he’s lost,
Forgetting all the time he’s got.
