Spotless As You

Why o why should you follow me down
Someone as spotless as you
You should not be allowed in the dark side of town
That is lingering behind my eyes so blue

You mistook my worry for meaningless wrath
A canyon I carved in your way
But it was only a scratch in the dust of the path
An arrow to point you in some other way

Pray for me only after you pray for yourself
To whoever it is that you see
On the towering heights of the thunderhead shelf
Or the ruins and the rocks at your feet

Remember the song that we sang long ago
Whose words were so terribly true
Now if your life is snatched from you
The pain quickly goes
For the survivors the nightmares ensue

Pray for me only after you pray for yourself
To whoever it is that you see
On the towering heights of the thunderhead shelf
Or the ruins and the rocks at your feet
Don't look down…..
