It's been nine years of silence and 40 of pain
and the crosshairs of legacy.
But if you saw my patience with the hands of time,
you would be proud of me.
Cause all my religion is coming undone,
but I still feel the power of God.
He's my last companion when the guests all go
home and he don't care if I'm guilty or not.
It comes out of nowhere like summertime rain,
from a bright cloud in the sky,
it feels so insane.
But love is the question that you can't return.
It's cold and it's frightening and we all get hurt.
Oh,
the sunlight is in,
the curtain comes down,
all the angels are mercy,
but none left this town.
We're running in circles and throwing out names.
If you want the credit,
I guess we'll take the blame.
There's a long distant memory of a smile on your face.
Too tired now to hold dear.
All the wrong kind of anger is crawling in your skin.
The danger's always near.
When you're armed with forgiveness and a knife in your back,
there's no solace that you can
trust.
And on to the promise of the here and not yet,
praying God deliver us.
Oh,
it comes out of nowhere like summertime rain,
from a bright cloud in the sky,
it feels so insane.
But love is the question that you can't return.
It's cold and it's frightening and we all get hurt.
Oh,
the sunlight is in,
the curtain comes down,
all the angels are mercy,
but none left this town.
We're running in circles and throwing out names.
If you want the credit,
I guess we'll take the blame.
