Mat Kearney - Hawthorne lyrics
[Mat Kearney - Hawthorne lyrics]
And goblins and angels at night
With a barrel and a bottle
By a grandfathers knife
There's blood on my collar
I wish it was mine
With less friends before me
And more left behind
If you run to the moon you're running alone
If you wait for the moment
It's coming too slow preacher the prophet
I've never known
But the Jesus of prostitutes
Is chasing my soul
But the Jesus of prostitutes
Is chasing my soul
With oceans before me and oceans to grow
The price of this freedom has cost me my home
Stood on the mountains of mint fields of gold
I wish I wasn't here standing alone
If you run to the moon you're running alone
If you wait for the moment
It's coming too slow preacher the prophet
I've never known
But the Jesus of prostitutes
Is chasing my soul
But the Jesus of prostitutes
Is chasing my soul
I remember on Hawthorne the
Rain and the smoke
I wish that the last words
Weren't the last we spoke
I was burning on fire from earlier years
The bitterness burns with regret in my tears
If you run to the moon you're running alone
If you wait for the moment
It's coming too slow preacher the prophet
I've never known
Well living for bread ain't
Worth living at all
Suffer the darkness and wait for the dawn
This letter I'm writing won't find a home
Burning the thunder and cold to the bone
Cause the Jesus of prostitutes
Is chasing my soul
Cause the Jesus of prostitutes
Is calling me home
