Oh, Julia
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Julia, do you remember how the church bells rang
How your Sunday dress looked, and how the angels sang
But they kept us in a stranglehold, they filled our heads up with fear
And I saw the light in your eyes disappear through the years
Oh, Julia!
I think I finally found the truth
You gotta kill whatever’s been killing you
Oh, Julia!
Sunday morning on Main Street, with the walls closing in
We washed the shame from our faces, left from last night’s sins
Your mama told me she prayed for me, I think that I understood
She must have seen something in me, I just doubt it was something good
Oh, Julia!
I think I finally found the truth
You gotta kill whatever’s been killing you
Oh, Julia!
I just wanna let you know, I think I’m finally free
Tell the congregation not to waste their grace on me
Oh, Julia!
I think I finally found the truth
You gotta kill whatever’s been killing you
Oh, Julia!
What you told me still is true
You gotta kill whatever’s been killing you
Oh, Julia!
