Prayer Without Words |
| Packing vagabond visions and a dream drenched hunger for a home |
| Swaddled in road dirt, blood stained blankets and poems |
| On a stormy suitcase Sunday I awakened to the scream of the birds |
| They held their high notes and offered prayer without words |
| Sinking in asphalt, speechlessness and what coulda been |
| Surrounded by strangers, scarred stars, stoned broken men |
| Riding the narcotic night 'til she swerved and smashed into the curb |
| Morning spilled from the wreckage and offered prayer without words |
| Chains on the mast pull the past, nothing lasts but nothing ever ends |
| I leave town, break new ground, break down, leave town again |
| Trapped in the circle, anchored to the weight of the world |
| Under shooting stars that sink the skies and offer prayer without words |
| Justice rides with jaundiced eyes, jaded judges bleed the broken bench |
| Liberty’s a homicide, she been flogged to death with money’s monkey wrench |
| Desperado apostates set fire to every holy word we’ve heard |
| Silence billows from the burning book and offers prayer without words |
| Surrender, that sweet cleaning girl, folds white flags in Hallelujah Square |
| She can’t remember where she’s been, one day I’m gonna join her there |
| Unpack my battered traveling case, hang out a sign that says «Do Not Disturb» |
