Lacy

Capo 3

She's got a warm heart she got a soft tongue

She gives a coffee cup to a drunken old bum

And he doesn't have to thank her cause she knows that he's feelin alone

She puts her hand out where no church bells ring

She doesn't say too much till she gets up to sing

To the penniless losers on the sidewalk with faces of stone

She moans tender mercies to a world runnin wild

She's got the face of an angel, she's got the soul of a child

And I'm stuck in the cold, she'll wait for awhile

She's captured my heart with her sweet summer smile

She tells the twilight of all her days blessed

She greets the sunrise in her cool cotton dress

And she'll never be judgin, she stands in her own pair of shoes

And I'm a stranger she's earned my trust

Singin' songs about heaven and Jesus

She works hard all day long just to keep from singin the blues

Chorus

I'd always thought heaven was someplace so far away

But I found some salvation in the love of another today

She cries for the lonesome to the stars up above

She takes all my hate and brings me back love

And she lives with a passion like nobody I've ever known

In a lost crowd she'll find a friend singin out loud

Her day doesn't end till she's helped some lost drifter

To find the way to his home

Chorus
