A Town Like Hurricane - A Lily

My son told me he ran to school in the dead of night

He broke those doors down and he filled the rooms with his light

And he held his girl he held her tight he held her tight

You're with god now he said he said

If I were to let you down I'd let you down gently

If I were to speak to god I'd speak to god softly

No-one told my son put your life in my hands

So my boy is angel to the world and to his town

Rest your head in my arms and sleep dear

You're with god now he'd say he'd say

If I was to let you down I've let you down gently

If you were to speak to god you'd say to god softly

If I were to let you down I'd let you down gently

And if you were to speak to god you speak to god softly

You write like a cumbersome angel

Rudderless like a ship lost in snowy sea

You mother and the daughter and the sister of god

You held my head above shallows

For a little while

For a little while

For a little while

For a little while

For a little while

For a little while
