In the sun
W hands held high, a plastic gun
Blood on his teeth, a hole in his thumb
Gone too soon, taken too young
My holy ghost, my only son
In the rain
Well they say that love always outruns pain
While thoughts & prayers march to a flame
But I can hear his voice, hear him say my name
My holy ghost, my lonely reign
If a lamb for slaughter
Was treading water
He was a wheel
If a daylight daughter
Was a heart grown hotter
He was a heel
& you know
It lays in light
Over my holy ghost
Fall & fight
Lord they cut his throat
Burning bright
All of my former hope
It lays in light
In a riot out on the highway tonight
In my daze
I saw our names in chalk, a heart worn haze
Every memory a minor maze
Sunset sighs, an empty gaze
My holy ghost, our younger days
