Oh, but it's long
One Sunday Morning
Oh, one son is gone.
I can see where it's dawning
Over the sea
My father said what I had become
No one should be.
Outside I look lived in
Like bones in a shrine
How am I forgiven?
Oh I'll give it time.
In silence without warning
Holding my brow
In time he thought I'd kill him
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 out, I fear what waits for you.
I can hear those bells
Spoken and gone
I feel if I feel well
Now he knows he was wrong.
I am 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 I owe
Than I can give.
This is how I tell him
Oh, but it's wrong
One Sunday morning
One son is gone
This is how I tell him Oh, but it's long One Sunday Morning Oh, one son is gone. I can see where it's dawning Over the sea My father said what I had become No one should be. Outside I look lived in Like bones in a shrine How am I forgiven? Oh I'll give it time. In silence without warning Holding my brow In time he thought I'd kill him 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 out, I fear what waits for you. I can hear those bells Spoken and gone I feel if I feel well Now he knows he was wrong. I am 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 I owe Than I can give. This is how I tell him Oh, but it's wrong One Sunday morning One son is gone Explain Request ×
