A body that pulls like a pack mule to meet you

Boots on your feet as you sleep through the morning

A gentle communion reminds me of yesterday

Does holiness grow with the distance created?

My marriage was not to a martyr in flames

    F#m                       D
And martyrs don't light up so loved ones will love them
