CHEWIE - Holy Communion lyrics
[CHEWIE - Holy Communion lyrics]
I remember the streets unfolded like a map
I was in the oldest part of the city
My mother told me stories of when she was a
Child as we watched clothes dry on a balcony
There was a choir singing
Gospels loud and clear
Oh, no, I didn’t know how to feel
That was the last time I took Holy Communion
I had to walk to the altar
To see their faces clear
When you asked me if I
Was okay I couldn’t answer
But oh, what would you do?
How would you feel if the
World paid attention to you?
Oh, how they grow up!
They were the shoes we wore when our
Wives fell in love with us
Don’t let them call my name to an empty room
If you’ll do that for me I’ll do it for you
The only suit I own is black, and if it
Stays right at the back of my wardrobe
This year could be a better one
Some things must die for some to grow, and
Though I’ll find my own way home
I know I’ll never be alone again
But oh, what would you do?
How would you feel if the
World paid attention to you?
Oh, how they grow up!
They were the shoes we wore when our
Wives fell in love with us
Don’t let them call my name to an empty room
If you’ll do that for me I’ll do it for you
I’m a number at home, you’re a number abroad
I don’t know what to do
But, I’ll remember your face
Any time any place
If it’s the last thing that I’ll ever do
If it’s the last thing that I’ll ever do
I was in the oldest part of the city
My mother told me stories of when she was a
Child as we watched clothes dry on a balcony
There was a choir singing
Gospels loud and clear
Oh, no, I didn’t know how to feel
That was the last time I took Holy Communion
I had to walk to the altar
To see their faces clear
When you asked me if I
Was okay I couldn’t answer
But oh, what would you do?
How would you feel if the
World paid attention to you?
Oh, how they grow up!
They were the shoes we wore when our
Wives fell in love with us
Don’t let them call my name to an empty room
If you’ll do that for me I’ll do it for you
The only suit I own is black, and if it
Stays right at the back of my wardrobe
This year could be a better one
Some things must die for some to grow, and
Though I’ll find my own way home
I know I’ll never be alone again
But oh, what would you do?
How would you feel if the
World paid attention to you?
Oh, how they grow up!
They were the shoes we wore when our
Wives fell in love with us
Don’t let them call my name to an empty room
If you’ll do that for me I’ll do it for you
I’m a number at home, you’re a number abroad
I don’t know what to do
But, I’ll remember your face
Any time any place
If it’s the last thing that I’ll ever do
If it’s the last thing that I’ll ever do
