lyrics

Running out of Mom and Dad’s
holding up all the loot you had,
looking at the photographs
on the way back, and we laughed.
We talked about it all,
the action of their voices
cutting through the upstairs hall
like brutal warnings,
those terrible stories
that we all tried to deny.

I remember sunrise mass,
holy water on the knee-high grass,
Father John and Freihofer's
walking back under the conifers.
Peace be with you all!,
the pastures and the horses
flooding from the neighbor’s stall.
Time isn’t only
those terrible stories
that we all tried to survive.
