Erin McKeown - Litany For A Minor Character lyrics

[Erin McKeown - Litany For A Minor Character lyrics]

For you who never lied to me
For you who began with buyer beware to me
Lord hear our prayer

For you my conspirator
You who only you knew my nom de guerre
Call me by my secret cares
Lord hear our prayer

For the pair of us, walking, arms twist tight
Seaside nights in that gay town square
For you who broke my heart before I was aware
I swear but there you were so rare
With your blue eyes and blonde hair
Lord hear our prayer

For before second best was too much to bear
Rearranging deck chairs on
That sinking bedstead
For when I was finally awake did I dare
Lord hear our prayer



For the blankness of your stare
For how I couldn't get beneath some layer
Scared me shitless that I
Could care this much lord hear our prayer

For all that millionaire
Solitaire laissez fair this price of repair
For all the writers who fucked me
Thinking they'd write something
They'd get lucky
For me, the first to strike
Now does it feel fair? Lord hear our prayer

For the world is a wheel
For the wheel is a world
A wheel in a world in the middle of the air
Lord hear our prayer

For all this mess this blessing
Will you grant us for all this struggle
All this for someone so brief a narrator
Mercy for that minor character

Lord I send this prayer
Lord I send this prayer
Lord I send this prayer lord hear our prayer
