lyrics

As he walks down the nave
His earring vibrates as he passes the virgin by
Bloody heart shining deep red of the christ
Still a’cross wording his way through clouds

And as he sat on the grass
Staring at the dandelions
He couldn’t stop thinking
Tired of the week
It’s crazy to see how much it costs
Just to be sitting here in the sun

Steaming memories of his childhood
In the gloomy light of the church
Wednesday morning dipping hands in holy water
Tonight getting ready for a showcase in the convent

And as he sat on the grass
Staring at the dandelions
He couldn’t stop thinking
Tired of the week
It’s crazy to see how much it costs
Just to be sitting here in the sun
