One Sunday Morning (Song For Jane Smileys Boyfriend)
This is how I tell it
Oh but its long
One Sunday morning
Oh one son is gone
I can see where theyre dawning
Over the sea
My father said what I had become
No-one should be
Outside I look lived in
Like the bones in a shrine
How am I forgiven
Oh Ill give it time
This I learned without warning
Holding my brow
In time he thought I would kill him
Oh but I didnt know how
I said its your god I dont believe in
No your Bible cant be true
Knocked down by the long life
He cried I fear what waits for you
I can hear those bells
Spoken and gone
I feel relief I feel well
Now he knows he was wrong
I am cold for my father
Frozen underground
Jesus I wouldnt bother
He belongs to me now
Something sad keeps moving
So I wandered around
I fell in love with the burden
Holding me down
Bless my mind I miss
Being told how to live
What I learned without knowing
How much more that I owe that I can give
This is how I tell it
Oh but its long
One Sunday morning
One son is gone
