St. Francis lyrics - Delta Spirit

[Verse:]

They're all throwing stones at the back of my home

Kicking the dirt in the air

Well I left to think while they're thinking I'm stoned

Well I had no cause to be there

And out of this town while I had something left

Bury the fear in my head

Well it's all just the same cause the city's just as bare

It's full of people like me

[Chorus:]

We've all run away

Everyone wants but nobody needs

Silver and gold

Well everyone wants, but nobody needs

[Interlude similar to verse]

Well I ran to the woods and I preached to the birds

St. Francis talking to me

Well they said I'd find love in a pain I'd endure

If I would just listen to him

With my ear to the ground and my heart full of lead

Well I quietly listened to him teach

But with tears in his eyes, he just looked straight through me

I awkwardly waited for speech

We've all run away

Everyone wants but nobody needs

Silver and gold

Everyone wants, but nobody needs

[Interlude w/ changed piano part]

Once I was sure that this love was the truth

Well I quickly spit in his face

I returned to my home, friends and I, we threw stones

Bragging that we knew the way

[hummed chorus 1x until the end]
