lyrics

Lyrics:

On the weekend they mowed the grass down at the park
And after six months I met the neighbor down the street
You know that new church that plays its songs into the dark?
They put a fence up. The hallelujahs leave the yard
Sweet sweet Jesus. The hallelujahs leave the yard

I see the blessing all around me
And I don’t feel that blessed
I am praying for a happy ending
But it’s a sorrow in a sorrow all tangled in a mess

(It’s a sorrow in a sorrow maybe I just need some rest
It’s a sorrow in a sorrow from hoping for the best)

Do you know Tom? He had a stroke just last October
Now his one hand does the work for left and right
Little Mary, when her Momma works on Sundays
Walks the sidewalk. The hallelujahs leave the yard
I am listening. While the music leaves the yard

Let the singing people shout
Let the holy music out
With these hymns of joy and healing
Turn this numbing into feeling

I’m in hiding here behind my red front door
No one knows I’m in my winter unwashed clothes
Please don’t see me
Please don’t let me be alone
