Sermon at Shady Grove

from Here & How by Michael Gerard

/

lyrics

I wasn't walking and I wasn't driving
I told my friends I must of been flying
The night that we gave away and left
So so little to go on
Oh go on and pretend it could ever be how it was
I convinced myself that but not in so many words
Mine were a prayer and a song never written
But you probably already knew that
And the moonshine washed over everything
I took it so hard that I didn't even sing
And the house it never was empty
And my solitude never left me alone
And the datkness on both sides of the glass
Terrified me so I never asked

I've been talking to our betfer angels you see
They reminded me there's so much more that I could be
Like a light that goes on and on and on and on
But only if I want it to
And a sermon just happened to happen sonetimes
Between blank verse, prose, and misbegotten rhymes
We so hopelessly pantomime telling ourselves
We believe. We believe. We believe
And the truth is right where we left it
Where the sky it could collect it in time
And the rain came down like a parade
And you came back to me in the sound that it made
