Lyrics
Abbey For One
If I had the choice
It just might be a still small voice
Bright rally shirts move through the streets
With a megaphone brimstone speech
Pardon me, excuse me now
I’ll find an abbey just for one somehow
Not even a note left beside your bed
My own tree line locked inside my head
Ancient monks of the desert knew
City lights touch the fringes too
Pardon me, excuse me now
I'll find an abbey just for one somehow
Hey it's me, I'm on my way back
But will there be any bridges left?
This velcro beard I'm ripping off
Maybe then we'll take a cloister walk
Pardon me, excuse me now
Find an abbey for us all somehow
