lyrics

He sits there behind his wall, No one knocks, no one calls
robes hung in the closet for a year
Lost track of time when all went South; A holy man, once devout
Nothing’s sacred, nothing’s clear

Lost the forest through the trees, Lost his way and fails to see
The path that led him down here once before
Admits defeat, and caves to sin; Can’t forgive, so he gives in
He forgot that there was something more

I’ve got no place I’m going too
Let me walk a while with you
Keep me in the light
Til I come out alright
Help a faithless preacher to believe

Darkness falls, sun is down; You can just make out the lights of town
From the cabin where a broken man lies
Lies to himself, lies to the moon, Lies in his bed, in a single room
Curses the dark spots that cloud his mind

The world’s uncertain, the world’s impure, It’s filled with suffering and hurt
Knocks us to the ground far too easy
Look out through the pouring rain, You’ll find the other side of pain
The side the faithless preacher fails to see

I’ve got no place I’m going too
Let me walk a while with you
Keep me in the light
Til I come out alright
Help a faithless preacher to believe
