This is how I tell it

Oh

But it's long

One sunday morning

Oh one son is gone

I can see where they're 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 I'll give it time

This I learned without warning

Holding my brow

In time he thought I would kill him

Oh but I

Didn't know how

I said it's your god I don't believe in

No your

Bible can't 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

Ring 'em cold for my father

Frozen underground

Jesus I wouldn't 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 it's long

One sunday morning

One son is gone
