Eye Of The Needle |
They say that, «You'll hear him if you’re really listening» |
And pray for that feeling of grace |
But that’s what I’m doing, why doesn’t he answer? |
I’ve prayed, 'til I’m blue in the face |
The cars in the churchyard are shiny and German |
Distinctly at odds with the theme of the sermon |
And during communion, I study the people |
Threading themselves through the eye of the needle |
I know that it’s wrong for the faithful to seek it |
But sometimes I long for a sign, anything |
Something to wake up the whole congregation |
And finally make up my mind |
The cars in the churchyard are shiny and German |
Completely at odds with the theme of the sermon |
And all through communion, I stare at the people |
Squeezing themselves through the eye of the needle |
