St. Francis And The Future

Lyrics

Oh make the future small Like the painting we saw of St. Francis And there was, far away, a background city- We only saw it with magnifiers and light And I do wish the future was like that Don't I know it Oh I will not move on I'll be here on the lawn In the same coat I have had Although I ask that I could correct Every time of mistake and every regret And there's so much that I haven't yet Don't I know it And in the background of St. Francis There were rivers, spires, a long way off We could not really see them very well I want to be beside you Through all these things Cannot I want to keep this future From such closer measure Cannot very well
