lyrics

Now a token of the past
and the road's all broken glass
shattered on the winding path
for our own bare feet to bleed

You were never like the others
so I heard from the mouth of the elders
who spoke so lovingly
of your songs and poetry

You were some kind of saint
people lit candles for your sake
And I remember once entering a church
thinking you were the man on the stake

And I recall all so clearly
the day I put your record on
the humble iconography
and your timid face on the cover

I loved the wretched nudity
of the heartfelt words of truth
you weaved around anemic melodies
you were my sense of the Holy
