Francis

(album: Among Horses III - 2018)

Driving through the darkness
Hungover and carsick
Broken-hearted boy
Yeah that's how it started
With the dead
Asking why you don't confess
Father Saint Francis
Your daddy's in a casket
You hear it in the wind
But you don't want to ask yet
You see it in her mouth
You see it in her hands
You know you got a secret that she'll never understand
And the ghosts
Say what you already know

Yeah you had a place in the kingdom kid
Yeah the pretty people are so easy to forgive
But there's something on your skin that you can't get clean
There's a fawn in the fence that you can't get free
So you're asking everybody who they think they really are
And you feel a little better till the sky goes dark
And the ghosts
Yeah but you already know
Yeah but you already know
Yeah you got nowhere to go
Yeah but you already know
