Long-Lost Mama (c. -03-23) |
Long Lost Brother |
Words and Music: Detweiler |
recording: OHIO |
I thought that we’d be Further along by now |
I can’t remember how |
We stumbled to this place |
I loved you like a long lost brother |
On a bad day maybe I thought why bother |
I’ve seldom seen so much anger |
In a face |
I wanna do better |
I wanna try harder |
I wanna believe |
Down to the letter |
Jesus and Mary |
Can you carry us Across this ocean |
Into the arms of forgiveness |
I don’t mean to laugh outloud |
I’m trying to come clean |
Trying to shed my doubt |
Maybe I should just keep |
My big mouth shut |
More often than not |
When it comes to you |
You want whatever’s not in front of you |
Deep down I know this includes me too |
So tell me your troubles |
Let your pain rain down |
I know my job I’ve been around |
I invest in the mess |
I’m a low cost dumping ground |
Trouble is I’m so exhausted |
The plot, you see, I think I’ve lost it I need the grace to find what can’t be found |
