Mary Gauthier - Prayer Without Words lyrics
Written by Mary Gauthier and Tom Damphier 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" |
