We had longed for lying in the old workhouse
Where they owned most everything
And the drug for years had been wearing off
Which reminds us why we sing

I'll come for everyone in my long Black Dress
I'll comfort everyone when the homeless sirens rest

When the longing time had evened out
When we reached the end of Spring
And her covered eyes pressed close to mine
We would clip the children's wings

I'll come for everyone in my long black dress
I'll comfort everyone when the homeless child (would) rest

Pray for me
Just Pray

I'll come for everyone in my long Black Dress
I'll comfort everyone when the homeless sirens rest

Pray for me

Walked her home from school one day
And I drove her off to work
Now that all is figured out
And all her life has worth
