Say Grace

Lyrics

Our lady of the bus depot is holding forth tonight Her body it is wasted but her eyes are shining bright And our father who art slightly drunk is warding off the shakes And he staggers underneath the weight of the promises he makes Say grace – say grace Forgive yourself for all of your mistakes You can start all over if that's what it takes Come inside and set yourself a place And say grace We are gathered here together to praise his holy name In a shelter by the Greyhound station down on 5th and Main And as to who we're praying to there run two schools of thought A benevolent provider or an unforgiving god Say grace – say grace Forgive yourself for all of your mistakes You might find salvation in your neighbor's face Come inside and set yourself a place And say grace Well the bible on the table's sayin' be of good cheer But the TV in the corner's screamin' you're not welcome here And on a poster in the waiting room she greets the tired and poor Our lady of the harbor stands beside a golden door Say grace – say grace Forgive yourself for all of your mistakes You are not a loser, you are not a hopeless case Come inside and set yourself a place And say grace
