about

This is part of my effort to write a song every week this year.

lyrics

well he sang you a song
he wrote all the words
he sang it out loud
because he knew you heard
that secret tune
in the sitting room
one more year
one more noon
he smelled your breath
from a mile away
you poisoned him
he let it stay
because he's an honest man
he rights his wrongs
writes his sins
like he writes his songs

and he can see that it's a new year once again
he knows what you've done
he knows where you've been
and you say that y'all been through the thick and thin
rising with the sun
turning milestones in

you're so resolute
you're standing tall
talking about change
gonna change it all
but what about the way
that he sings to you
sure it don't rhyme
and it sure ain't in tune
but ain't nothing like
a morning song
to wake you up
carry you on
looking for grace
when he sleeps in your bed
he makes you coffee
and covers your head

alleluia
