A shovel is a prayer To the farmer's foot When he steps down And the soft earth gives way A baby is a prayer When it's finally asleep A whispered, “Amen” At the end of the day
And a friend is a prayer When they bring over soup When they laugh at your jokes And they don't ask for proof It’s a song that you sing When you are alone When you're weary or lonely Or that far from home
For all your searching There’s nothing to do What you've been looking for Is looking for you
I'm the prodigal daughter You're the dissonant son We've been washed in rainwater We're the fortunate ones On the other side of midnight Just before the dawn You can feel it coming up When the long night is done
It's as heavy as grief And it's weightless as smoke It's the dream you forgot It's the letter you wrote It's the first birds of morning That sound like a hymn Throw open the windows and Let the light in
I'm a wayfaring stranger You’re Indiana Jones We are Gracie and George We’re Watson and Holmes The air is filled with angels There’s no devil to outrun Just sigh and kiss the ground When the long night is done
It's a collar turned up A kiss on the forehead A string and two cans It's the last thing you said It's a hunch that you follow A light in the dark An idiot check
It's a balm for your heart For all you searching There’s nothing to do What you've been looking for Is looking for youTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
