lyrics

The widow’s heart is like a broke-down car
In the middle of a desert storm
She’ll pray for rain until it comes some day
And washes out valley floor

She’ll say, “The sea is no place for me,
There’s nowhere I can rest”
She’ll say “God, my God, give me back dry land,
I can’t take much more of this”

Oh, you made your choice my daughter
Oh trust me, you can swim a little farther

Daughter of the shadow, has your truth been revealed?
In the darkness you are nothing, in the light you are real
All you see before you is yours to call home
As long as you don’t look for answers you don’t need to know

Oh, you know my voice my Father
Oh what’s the point of going any farther?
Oh, do I have a choice my Father?
Oh, what’s the point of going any farther?

As the waters rise up, I will look to the sky
And say, “Lord, where are you?”
You’ll say, “I was there the whole time my son
You just never asked me what you should do”

It's not often you see a debut EP so beloved that fans still get lit when they hear a song from it in concert. That's how good this is. weirdschlongbox
