Sixth track from the album Saint of the Open Opera (2010)
lyrics
Seminary Road
Nathan Brown and Ginnifer Brown, 2010
Laid bedtime stories in the ground
Paid Lincoln pennies on the mound
And all those sunny days ended tonight
And all our faithful prayers whispered in fright
And all the lights and all the fight went out on Seminary Road
Steal children's fables from the ban
Peel wrongful labels from the can
And all the bullshitters were so bright
And all to scare us out of what's right
And insect bites and all the night-sweats came from Seminary Road
Leaving would be living in sin
Grieving was just holding it in
Proven illusion
Still makes us believe
All the breath I can heave
Thrones, virtues, powers hitch a ride
Stone holy flowers have all died
And all those sunny days ended in night
And all our faithless prayers breathed out in frostbite
And all the white and all the kites ripped away
And all bright hot fire light can stay on Seminary Road
