One Sunday Morning lyrics

This is how I'll tell it

Oh, but it's long.

One Sunday Morning

Oh, one son is gone.

Against the weather dawning

Over the sea

My father said what I had become

No one should be.

Outside I look lived in

Like the bones in a shrine

How am I forgiven?

Oh, I'll give it time.

This I learned without warning

Holding my brow

In time we thought I would kill him

Oh, but I didn't know how.

I said it's your God I don't believe in

No, your Bible can't be true

Knocked down by the long lie

He cried I fear what waits for you.

I can hear those bells

Spoken and gone.

I feel relief I feel well

Now he knows he was wrong.

Ring 'em cold for my father

Frozen underground

Jesus I wouldn't bother

He belongs to me now.

Something sad keeps moving

So I wandered around.

I fell in love with the burden

Holding me down.

Bless my mind, I miss

Being told how to live.

What I learned without knowing

How much more I owe than I can give.

This is how I tell it

Oh, but it's long.

One Sunday morning

One son is gone.
