The World's Largest Crucifix

My mind ran a race as i searched every place

for those dear thing that i've thrown away

if the colors would fade to black and white days

then i'd find a safe place to stay

I've walked through these streets and i've missed every beat

this old city's on (?)

so i figured i'd drive north on 75

and look for a sign from above

"the world's largest crucifix" the billboard screamed at me

but the old rugged cross i sought was nowhere to be seen

and bigger's usually better so i know i must believe

that the world's largest crucifix saves their dying memory

I try to remember that kind of september

we all sang about when life was slow

before all the shame and loved one's we've blamed

have ripped out our poor family's soul

The world's largest crucifix bring them back to me

but the old rugged cross i sought was nowhere to be seen

and bigger's usually better so i know i must believe

that the world's largest crucifix saves their dying memory

---

Little amber bottles when i ask to be alone

Little amber bottles when i pray to be back home

i thought that i was dreaming when i heard you say goodbye

i must have heard you screaming but i couldn't remember why

Those clouds are rolling in

This heartache's going to win

Little amber bottles, let loneliness begin

This house is filled with sorrow

Each door and board i can recall

I wait until tomorrow from inside these padded walls

I thought that i was dreaming when i heard you say goodbye

I must have heard you screaming but i couldn't remember why

I've prayed for days to pass

Oh another empty glass

Little amber bottles will let me be with you at last

Little amber bottles when i ask to be alone

Oh little amber bottles when i pray to be back home

My mind ran a race as i searched every place

For those dear thing that i've thrown away

If the colors would fade to black and white days

Then i'd find a safe place to stay
