Prayer of St. Francis - Joe Jencks

St. Francis fumbled in the dark Up the stairs and down the hall And in his midst the crows moved slow Whizzing by like thunderbolts And I cried go. With flint in teeth and fire and hand He fought a fleet of angry men Who boast of birds they stole from St. Francis tamed those witless thieves And I cried go. St. Francis learned th wolves lived in Towns with wives and with children His eyes grew blind from this awful truth The real wolves wore pants and shoes The crows know that your wavering The crows know that your waiting To escape. St. Francis says says says GO.

Just like St. Francis The little birds come Lonely for a little warm You give them your music But they just want a song Oh, no, I'll never learn But I'd make beautiful sounds I'd lay you down like a lover would My pride, still standin' straight But looking back I wasn't so brave I wasn't so brave Flying through tunnels At the mouth of New York Sometimes, I belong here But it's funny how leaving Turns the emptiness up The hole you never heard before Oh, I laugh in my hands A kiss from that man Like a melody My pride still standing Looking tall But looking back I wasn't brave at all I wasn't brave at all Was I? I'd make beatiful sounds I'd lay you down like a lover would On the phone, I started to say But then I stopped I used to be brave I used to be brave Here's hoping next time, we'll get it right ' S.

Like a river To the sea Like a river To the sea We turn away To face the cold Enduring chill As the day begs the night For mercy love The sun so bright It leaves no shadows Only scarves Carved into Stone On the face of it We run like a river To the sea We run like a river To the sea And in a world of highest darkness A firezone Where poets speak their hearts Then bleed for It Jara sang His song a weapon Into the hands of one You know his blood still cries From the ground It runs like a river Runs to the sea It runs like a river To the sea Like a river To the sea Like a river To the sea Like a river To the sea Like a river To the sea Like a river To the sea

Can you hear me when I pray for you Never knew tears could make an ocean blue Fear of forever is a door that I don't want closed, closed Pictures and pictures of the smile I remember This just can't all be true I hope he makes the biggest mistake The unforgivable that makes your heart break I hope you tell him "sorry is just not enough" And it goes from good to bad, so I can have you back So many memories tells how long it's been And I accept the blame as to why you're with him He wouldn't approve of us just being friends Please, that's all I need Out of respect I back away for a while Promise to keep me in mind I hope he makes the biggest mistake The unforgivable that makes your heart break I hope you tell him "sorry is just not enough" And it goes from good to bad, so I can have you back There is nobody like you (So I can have you back) Without you, I don't know what to do The love you gave to to me I'm using it to breathe I know you think I'm wrong But it keeps me holding on, to you Keeps me holding on, to you The love you gave to to me I'm using it to breathe I know you think I'm wrong But it keeps me holding on, to you Keeps me holding on, to you I hope he makes the biggest mistake The unforgivable that makes your heart break I hope you tell him "sorry is just not enough" And it goes from good to bad, so I can have you back
