We had longed for lying in the old workhouse where they owned most everything
And the drugs 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 rest
When the long time had evened out
When we'd reach the end of spring
And her covered eyes pressed close to mine
We would clip children's wings
I'll come for everyone in my long black dress
I'll comfort everyone when the rest
Pray for me, pray for me, pray for me, just pray
Pray for me, pray for me. Pray for me, just pray
I'll come for everyone in my long black dress
I'll comfort everyone when the rest
Pray for me, pray for me, pray for me, Yes, pray
Walked her home from school one day, and drove her off to work
Now that all is figured out and all her life has worth
