Holy Days

from holed up by Setting Sun

/

lyrics

When a whisper has turned to a shout
Maybe this time it's a good word
If words could only say the way it plays
The meanings that we've made
out of fear 'cause we're afraid
Lord I need a holy day
All we have is time, but all the while
The serene scene can change into a shit pile
And birds will gather 'round and let off their sighs
to see the shit we've made
and all the money that was saved
Lord I need a holy day
Until I saw your face on a cigar
The dream was out of place, but there you are
Shining like the brightest beautiful star
that you are, that you are
That you wanted to be
Oh Lord you make me see this holy day
After all the time has come and gone
Guitar strings and I sing a song gone wrong
All those papers that hit the ground
just don't blow away
It's the waste that we make
and all the hours that it takes
Makes me need for a holy day
