lyrics

Hey momma,
do you still drop to your knees at night and pray for me?
Oh don’t wear a hole in the floor of your new house.
I know this life’s been bad on you.
I don’t make it any easier the awful truth
so when you go to sleep at night
I hope your dreams tell you lies.
I hope you see a little boy without murder in his eyes.
And I hope the sun don’t come too soon.
Its one more day,
one more day that we lose.

So please don’t worry over me.
I just pull up my collar when I feel that winter’s breeze

So sadly, I guess that this is different
than what was planned.
It’s just that I’m so small
to get behind your big pulpit stand.
And I know that this makes you love me less
cause if it didn’t then its love
that you would confess.
No it’s the sins that I make that you put on parade.
Where is the love that you gave?
It’s all I need to be saved.

So please don’t worry over me.
I just pull up my collar when I feel that winter’s breeze
