lyrics
I frequent pubs from down the road, There's none forbearance known
I've been quoting excerpts from a Book I've never read, and darling, I can't show
That I want, to leave Him. I need, to meet you
My call, my study; the flavor's gone
I heard a story from the hall, of a priest's ignoble fall
He'd been sending love notes to a student in his class
And in a day, he was gone
You loved me, guided me as you could; You gave me peace like He should
But I'll keep quoting excerpts from a Book I've never read Cause it'll do more good
Following the Word, they're the words in your letters
Seminary life, and the writs of my guilt
I’ve always done for me, so I will not leavethe men here I've loved, and the home that I've built
And if you see me from the hall
You found your faith but they you can’t recall…
How I can always love you if we never speak againAnd then we’ll both find God
