"Rosaries At The Border" lyrics
"Rosaries At The Border"
Be thou my vision, be my vision
Be thou my wisdom, be my wisdom
Lord, something's missing, something we are missing
They come running
Hideous horror down at the border
Mama and baby, Mama, she is weeping
But we are a God-fearing, God-fearing country
So they come running
They told her life was better on the other side
You'll give your babies a better chance
Than you had in your whole life
For the fate of her family, and as she prayed to Jesus Christ
She came running
She came running
She came running
Oh, to wash her feet with my perfumed hair
To touch the hem of what they're making her wear
And say forgive my nation, though they know what they do
I swear somewhere down the line, we served the same God as you
And we came running too
And we came running too
And we came running too
We came running too
Be thou our vision, be our vision
Be thou our wisdom, be our wisdom

Free of worry, free of care
Free of pain and what we'd become

I'd...

Beneath clouds gathering
And a line of emptied black
On the waves at the horizon
Like a glimpse into cold, dark space

And bad with words...
Bonny Light Horseman - "The Roving" Annie, loving Annie
Come give me your hand
You said that if you marry
I could be the man
The roving, the roving of her eye
I knew her love was changing
By the roving of her eye
Early in the summer...
