[00:02.00]The Hold Steady - Lord, I m Discouraged

[00:44.48]Lord, I'm discouraged
[00:49.45]The circles have sucked in her eyes
[00:54.53]Lord, I'm discouraged
[00:59.21]Her new friends have shadowed her life
[01:05.29]Lord, I'm discouraged
[01:10.69]She ain't come out dancing for some time
[01:15.51]
[01:16.53]And I'm trying to light candles
[01:21.26]But they burn down to nothing
[01:23.82]And she keeps coming up with
[01:26.75]Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine
[01:32.46]Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine
[01:37.94]Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine
[01:43.34]There's a house on the south side
[01:46.11]Where she stays in for days at a time
[01:50.57]
[01:53.98]I know I'm no angel
[01:57.21]I ain't been bad that way
[02:02.34]Can't you hear her?
[02:05.31]She's that sweet missing songbird
[02:08.03]When the choir sings on Sundays
[02:13.20]And I'm almost busted
[02:16.02]But I bought back the jewellery she sold
[02:20.88]
[02:22.09]And I come to your altar
[02:26.84]And then there's just nothing
[02:29.91]And she keeps insisting
[02:32.04]The sutures and bruises are none of my business
[02:37.95]She says that she's sick
[02:40.33]But she won't get specific
[02:43.26]The sutures and bruises are none of my business
[02:48.60]This guy from the north side
[02:51.73]Comes down to visits
[02:54.67]His visits, they only take five or six minutes
[03:00.90]
[04:13.53]Lord, I'm sorry to question your wisdom
[04:19.01]But my faith has been wavering
[04:24.15]Won't you show me a sign,
[04:26.33]And let me know that you're listening?
[04:29.27]
[04:33.70]Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine
[04:38.90]Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine
[04:43.97]Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine
[04:48.90]I know it's unlikely she'll ever be mine
[04:53.65]So I mostly just pray she don't die
