lyrics

Jesus Was A Hobo

Everything seems so mysterious to me
I’m walking down a bad stretch of road
My love lies in the arms of my enemy
And I’m afraid to face the future alone

I hold up my hand in front of my face
My skin is so thin I can see the bone
I’m afraid of dying in this unfamiliar place
A million miles from home

They say the grace of God will never lead you
Where the grace of God will not protect you
I’m trying my best to believe you
But I just don’t know

Jesus was a hobo
But he never walked alone

Failure is a most compassionate teacher
I’m a scarecrow but I’m scared of the crows
I crawled across barbed wire just to reach her
She said next time call ahead you better go

Now my days are grey with boredom nights are red with pain
The woman walk their gargoyles in the park
Do me a favour if you ever fall in love again
Give it everything you’ve got

They say the grace of God will never lead you
Where the grace of God will not protect you
I’m trying my best to forget you
But I can’t let go

Jesus was a hobo
But he never walked alone

I tell myself there’s no such thing as the future
In my present I recreate my past
I guess I could pretend I never knew you
But that’s a dirty trick to play on my own heart

Now the sky is black with ravens coming home to roost
On my face I feel the first drops of rain
Any last words before we tighten the noose?
Yes, given half a chance I’d do it all again

They say the grace of God will never lead you
Where the grace of God will not protect you
I’m trying my best to leave you
But you’re buried in my soul

Jesus was a hobo
But he never walked alone
