(Dan Messe)



In the summer of my wedding

As the corn burned in the field

Oh I lay down for my Baby

And let the sweet smoke stain my heels



Well I lay there til the midnight

As the dogs, they run through town

And I rose up just to listen

And I never lay back down



I could hear them from my bedroom

Through the black wood on my floor

I could call out, hear them scatter

Running blindly past my door



Then the morning, it came upon me

And I set my soul to search

From the tall grass down the main road

To the stained glass at the church



Lord my shepherd help me pray

Though I left my heart to stray

Though I left my heart untrue

I can follow

I do

I do



I can name them in my dreaming

I can set my soul to rest

I can chain them to my body

Let them settle at my breast



Now see them coming to my wedding

Where I will teach them not to stray

Oh they'll carry my salvation
