Heaven's No Place

(album: Thistled Spring - 2010)

He has no time loneliness is a stinger in his mind
A mind with two hearts, each with two parts, all of which ache for a wife

He bears it in his chest heaven's no place for a lonely man to rest
With no children abreast, no peace to taste, happiness has no face

A bow with Methodist plans that fail him by day, became the father of the man
Who lives with no light, hid by the night, poisoned by hope with vacant eyes
He bears it in his chest heaven's no place for a lonely man to rest

Dear lonely man, the reason you are stunned
You're born to a town that always eats it's young
And the more you love a lie it's coming true
Your burning up your mind thinking it through

Take his name, Marie
Bear him a child and live quietly
The more she lives her life all alone
It's burning up her mind to make a home
With these hearts so loud their beating's heard
Like the wings of a trapped injured bird
The more we love a lie it's coming true
It's burning up our minds thinking it through

Dear lonely man, the reason you are stunned
You're born to a town that always eats it's young
With a pious patience please wait for that wife
By winter's end you may come back to life
