I drank all the water in the holy grail
I tore my Bible and sang a prayer, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
I looked at the children & the baby's cryin'
& father's sweatin' & mama's dyin'
Alone in a house that I never grew up in
I look at an old photograph of someone I once knew
She died never to rise again
She died never to rise again, again, again
'Cause she drank all the water in the holy grail
She tore her bible and sang a prayer, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
She looked at the children & the baby's cryin'
& father's sweatin' & mama's dyin'
Down in the depths of my history
Up to the waist in my own misery
I silent but slowly wait for me
I silent but slowly wait for me
It's gonna take another miracle for us to see
'Cause we drank all the water in the holy grail
We tore the bible and sang a prayer, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
We looked at the children & the baby's cryin'
& father's sweatin' & mama's dyin'
Hey, hey, hey I'm in the city
Hey, hey, hey let's make it look pretty
Hey, hey, hey I'm in the city
Hey, hey, hey let's make it look pretty

Wait For It My Sister

Seven times a day I will pray for you
Seven hours a day I will wait
Healings on the way I will say for you
Sealin' up your fate He will make
Open up the door you will see
All the past mistakes you have made
There's a sword take the sword up with you
decimate yourself here before me
You may find you may see things you don't like
& that's part of it, part of it, part of it
You may find you may see things you don't like
& that's part of it, part of it, part of it
Seven times a day I will pray for you
Seven hours a day I will wait
Healings on the way I will say for you
Sealin' up your fate He will make
Open up the door you will see
All the past mistakes you have made
There's a sword take the sword up with you
decimate yourself here before me
You may find you may see things you don't like
& that's part of it, part of it, part of it
You may find you may see things you don't like
& that's part of it, part of it, part of it
The elder bird waiting for death from above
Raining like the suphorous blast from a dove
Expecting to fall & make good with descent overall
Ending existence, a thud on the bend
The youthful dear jumping regardless of year
Joy in its heart; there is nothing dire to fear
Expecting to grow & make good with the earth that's below
Ending existence, oh-oh-oh you wouldn't miss this
It takes time my dear
It takes time my friend
Wait for it my sister
Wait for it it's coming

Wild Sun

Come over here you wild one
Come over here you wild sun
Set over there & make your day
All of the children run out & play
Come over here you wild moon
Come over here the night is soon
Set over there & bring your light
All of the children are out tonight
I ask God, "Are you dead?"
He just nods his head
"Are you far, are you near?"
He says, "Boy, I'm right here."
