Justin Rosolino - St. Francis lyrics

rate me

There is a feeling I get

And it captures me but for a moment or two

Another romantic adventure

That fades in the name of something else new

Well that's not how I feel when I am around her

In fact it's not like that at all

Instead it's like I'm coming home

And I finally found where I've always belonged

And all of my foolish distractions

Well I won't be needing them anymore

And alone I am frightened

But with her I can

Lay me down, lay me down

And let her know who I really am

And when she's nearby

All of my selfish pride

Fades away, fades away, fades away

[Chorus]

And she dreams of a love that won't change

Like the sanctified saint that bears her name

She covers her eyes when she prays

'Cause she finds it so hard just believing in grace

And hers is a heart that is torn

Between longing for love and hating what she's become

Would she be surprised

If she looked through my eyes

And she saw how she shimmers

Like a full moon sky

And would all of those demons

That live in her mind

Fade away, fade away, fade away

[Chorus]

And she willingly bears all the blame

Like the sanctified saint that bears her name

Bears her name

She gently whispers

When she speaks of her pain

And the words cut me through

Like a torrent of rain

She's longing for shelter

Where she'll be safe and warm

Evermore, evermore, evermore

[Chorus]

And she hides from the signs of her fame

And she willingly bears all the blame

And she dreams of a love that won't change

Like the sanctified saint that bears her name

That bears her name
