Hope and Pray

We'll talk the talk that never ends

On a street that drives you around the bend

We'll drink a drink to fallen friends

And hope and pray we'll do better

My aching body slides into bed

To plead with the nightmare to end

To build me a home that won't let in the rain

Where I'll never he sad again

So you greet me with tight lips

Cheek to cheeck hip to hip

Words glide off my tongue and through my fingertips

And I hope and pray we'll do better

The dust settles on their front yard

Ad they drive away in seperate cars

The years have not been kind

We've know all along

Yes we've known all this time

We say a love such as ours

But then years down the line

We want to control what we can barely define

And I hope and pray we'll do better
