That Don't Make It Junk |
| fought against the bottle, |
| But I had to do it drunk — |
| Took my diamond to the pawnshop — |
| But that don’t make it junk. |
| I know that I’m forgiven, |
| But I don’t know how I know |
| I don’t trust my inner feelings — |
| Inner feelings come and go. |
| How come you called me here tonight? |
| How come you bother |
| With my heart at all? |
| You raise me up in grace, |
| Then you put me in a place, |
| Where I must fall. |
| Too late to fix another drink — |
| The lights are going out — |
| I’ll listen to the darkness sing — |
| I know what that’s about. |
| I tried to love you my way, |
| But I couldn’t make it hold. |
| So I closed the Book of Longing |
| And I do what I am told. |
| How come you called me here tonight? |
| How come you bother with my heart at all? |
| You raise me up in grace, |
| Then you put me in a place, |
| Where I must fall. |
| I fought against the bottle, |
| But I had to do it drunk — |
| Took my diamond to the pawnshop — |
| But that don’t make it junk. |
