Stuart Wilson-Smith - Pictures of St. Dymphna Lyrics

Woke up to a world
Feel like nothing
My sister warms the car
Says it's time to do something
You've been lying here too long
And I want you to know my children
But you've got to forgive to heal
Le me take you back to Fr. Downing
So we drove down Hanwell road
And I couldn't tell my breath from her cigarette smoke
Father met me at the door
Said I promise you'll be alright

I said
Oh
What a mess I made
I broke a promise to the light
Is this mercy or a masquerade
I know i ask you every time
I just can't get free in my mind

Father, as we walked down the parish hall
I saw St. Dymphna in a painting
I guess some kid knew who she was
I hope she prays for us tonight

Brother, you are free
And that's how you're meant to be
And this is the last time
The things we do are done
And you're not hurting anyone
So this is the last time
By the one who knows you most
Father
Son
And Holy Ghost
You're absolved

So I walked back to the car
Amy asked
Well is it over
I said as over as it can
And she cried into my shoulder
