The Streets of Absolution

from Again The Night by Frances Smith

/

lyrics

Flowers were bending in the rain
watching the water as it falls
the dancer turned on the grave
trapped by the daughter, and she prayed

There's a cold wind moving in
chasing the moderate man, afraid
who'd walked down the alleyway
he was so sure he'd found a stranger

And her breathing made him smile
as he walked into her sight
oh there's a hunter closing in
and the young arms are barest white

chorus

The hands were opening wide
the churches were broken and dark
the keys were golden until
the doors weren't there at all
and we'd walked down the streets
of absolution for long long time

The tempting of the traveller returned
was being acted out before our eyes
wearing the greyest clothes he gazed
into the nearness of the haze

It was the last time that I saw his face
his hair was grey and he was pleading
and I saw that you were a part of him
and I saw he had fallen to his knees

repeat chorus
