LIGHTS OVER BRIDGEPORT LYRICS

"Prayers & Eulogies"

patience now - mary took a couple months to figure out
the difference between what became her normal way
and certain things she said that were just things to say
all so he would never notice that her heart’s in hiding -
soon he saw the writing on the wall
tell me now
mary bury me under the town we called our home
don’t come back is all i ask
the same place she kept her silence
is where she prays her violence - won’t leave her alone
but the guilt’s her own
and now she’s reaching, pleading, needing
those gentle april evenings that she came to vacate
over many long nights they held tight while she lied with busy hands behind
those hands are dripping blood tonight…
mary bury me under the town we called our home
don’t come back is all that i ask
she’s folded her hands
her eyes are closed
she’s just a picture of pain clutching a funeral rose
memories reigning over
mary’s praying over me
mary bury me under the town we called our home
don’t come back is all that i ask
mary bury me under the town we called our home
let me go - tell me now.
