hail mary (and start again)

from iron line by hannah wyatt

lyrics

that maple with its hollow pointed finger
stared me down as it beckoned to the sky
it said if you don’t know by now which way you’re going
them walls are closing, you will be left outside

so read your bible, lace your boots up, comb your hair down
change your name and draw your curtains in a new town
and if they ever find you there, it’ll be last call my dear
drink all the whiskey, say three hail mary’s
and start again

i put four years swift behind me, i was reborn
the few who knew my voice would hear it once a year
and i’d pray the clouds would cover all my housefires
they’ll sniff you out, they’ll come back here

so i put four more years in southern san marino
another five wanderin’ round in baton rouge
and all my closest friends think i’m a preacher
who says i’m not, if they sin too

so read your bible, lace your boots up, comb your hair down
change your name and close your curtains in a new town
and if they ever find you there, it’ll be last call my dear
drink all the whiskey, say three hail mary’s
and start again
