lyrics

She wore her hair like one of the Brethren
Well-worn-down like a Free Presbyterian
Her Catholic knees and taste
Her morals were Lutheran
Mine were “loothe”

I watched her keeping the holy day holy
Having no God ahead of the true God
Her mouth was free from sin
Nothing got past her lips
Except the truth

Amen, a moment, please
Then take your hand in mine and peace be with you

Father forgive me for holding too tightly
Father forgive me for holding too long
She sat in easy state
Honouring her mother
And on and on

And on, and on, commandment one
Thou shalt put hand in hand and peace be with you
She put her hand in mine and peace be with me

The night's drawn in
Indian ink
Over and over pauses the pen
To drink

The constellation’s navigation
Softly sing the silent stars unspoken song

But, to woo, the owls
"To-whit, to-woo"
Through the woods, but out to whom?

The dawn goes on and on and onwards
Onward goes the dawn and on and on and on
A million times. On and on
I say my prayers at night and dream of you

Wearing your hair like one of the Brethren
Well-Worn-Down like a Free Presbyterian
Your Catholic knees and taste
Your morals are Lutheran
