thieves and villains – south st. hymnal lyrics
i see his father now from time to time
he wears a smile but you can’t undress the sadness from those eyes,
he haunts a drink and wants something to believe.
he says, “god took everything, everything from me.”
and all the good is gone
been lonesome for so long
and i can’t hear the choir singing now
just those chains i drag along.
and i breathed my life into this child,
he was young, he was brilliant, bright, and wild
i was a fool to think i’d ever see the day he’d become a better man than me,
and carry on my name.
and all the good is gone
been lonesome for so long
i can’t hear that choir singing now
just those chains i drag along.
hallelujah,
hallelujah,
i’ve been down this road before
and my heart, it took a toll.
when all the good is gone,
been lonesome for so long
and i can’t hear that choir singing now
just those chains i drag along.
hallelujah,
hallelujah,
i walked down, this road alone
when this town, it felt like home.
