lyrics

it comes and it goes
so welcome home
acceptance is cruel,
but it never asks us to be
anything more than we are

so he came and he went
the clock strikes 10
in this sacred room
there’s a place for everything
and a seat at the table
a rosary strikes the wall
but makes no sound at all
the cudgel of every path
un-taken and unleashed
sitting alone by the fire of my mind

this place
that I’ve built
knows time after time
that I’ll return to him
and it’s armed to the teeth
stoking the furnaces
‘cause time after time
smoke over troubled water
never signals a retreat

it comes and it goes
I saw you at home
waiting on the stoop
praying your way back in after the war
even after everything
I’ll take a memory
headmaster makes his way to the door
slowly to the door
