I spied her genuflection at the foot of her bed
Each dusk and every dawn
The waxy dresser top littered prayer cards
The legal tender of relief
St. Peregrine patron of cancer
Your lip sync smudges the foot of god

HE SEEMS TO BE IN ANOTHER LAND
I SEE A DIFFERENT MAN
HE SEEMS TO PUT HIS TROUBLES ASIDE
AN INNER PEACE HE SEEMS TO FIND
FOR AWHILE HE ESCAPES REALITY

WHEN YOU LOSE SOMEONE YOU LOVE
WHY GOD HAS TAKEN THEM
TO BE WITH HIM ABOVE
ALL WE KNOW IS THAT WE FEEL SO ALONE
