mary gauthier – prayer without words lyrics
written by mary gauthier and tom damphier
packing vagabond visions and a dream drenched hunger for a home
swaddled in road dirt, blood stained blankets and poems
they held their high notes and offered prayer without words
on a stormy suitcase sunday i awakened to the scream of the birds
sinking in asphalt, speechlessness and what coulda been
surrounded by strangers, scarred stars, stoned broken men
riding the narcotic night ’til she swerved and smashed into the curb
morning spilled from the wreckage and offered prayer without words
chains on the mast pull the past, nothing lasts but nothing ever ends
i leave town, break new ground, break down, leave town again
trapped in the circle, anch-r-d to the weight of the world
under shooting stars that sink the skies and offer prayer without words
justice rides with jaundiced eyes, jaded judges bleed the broken bench
liberty’s a homicide, she been flogged to death with money’s monkey wrench
desperado apostates set fire to every holy word we’ve heard
silence billows from the burning book and offers prayer without words
surrender, that sweet cleaning girl, folds white flags in hallelujah square
she can’t remember where she’s been, one day i’m gonna join her there
unpack my battered traveling case, hang out a sign that says “do not disturb”
