lyrics

Here We Lie in Wait

here we lie in wait
waiting for the day
the sun will shake us down
and in the morning we will laugh

the sun will shake us down
rattle tooth & bone
we’ll put that bottle down
and want no more

we’ll put that bottle down
and pick up the cross
lying in the yard
wet with morning dew

and I will know your name in time
I will baptize you in time
I will cut your hair in time
and may you follow suit

here we lie in wait
waiting for the day
the sun will shake us down
and in the morning we will laugh
