We Don't Eat

If this is redemption,why do I bother at all
There's nothing to mention,and nothing has changed
Still I'd rather be working at something,than praying for the rain
So I wander on,till someone else is saved
I moved to the coast,under a mountain
Swam in the ocean,slept on my own
At dawn I would watch the sun cut ribbons through the bay
I'd remember all the things my mother wrote
That we don't eat until your father's at the table
We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust
Never once has any man I've met been able to love
So if I were you,I'd have a little trust
Two thousand years,I've been in that water
Two thousand years,sunk like a stone
Desperately reaching for nets
That the fishermen have thrown
Trying to find,a little bit of hope
Me I was holding,all of my secrets soft and hid
Pages were folded,then there was nothing at all
So if in the future I might need myself a savior
I'll remember what was written on that wall
That we don't eat until your father's at the table
We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust
Never once has any man I've met been able to love
So if I were you,I'd have a little trust .
