Solomon's Glory

Daddy's foot was stuck in the hallway leaving his body behind the door
I was staring out at the moonlight thinkin of how life was before
Rememberin back when I was a baby you rocked me gently upon the chair
workin on the docks for your family back when your heart filled up with prayer

Isn't that unbearable something gonna make it hard to find the way
Close enough to get to the bedroom but the bed still somehow far away

Remember what the preacher told me about the lilies of the field
Even Solomon in glory was not arrayed like one of these
And I do not have no money how my children gonna eat?
And my soul so heavy in me getting hard to move my feet

Back behind the woodshed I found you, back with your hands wrapped round the gun
Screaming you said it was the only, way you could see to get things done
Remember back when I was a baby, you rocked me gently upon the chair
Workin on the docks for your family, back when your heart swole up in prayer

Isn't that unbearable something gonna make it hard to find the way?
Close enough to see the gate of heaven, impossible to stay awake

And I do not have nobody, now that you are dead and gone
Put my arms around your body, pick you up to take you home
All the anger and the glory, bleeding down upon my knees
And my soul so heavy in me, getting hard to move my feet
