Lyrics
Song: St. Anthony
She walks alone
A little tired, and cold
Finds the home she left this morning
Marguerite, so sweet
Fumbles for her front door key
She’s not surprised when the rain starts pouring
Papered walls of dandelions
She hears the neighbours baby crying
while standing in a puddle of misfortune
grieve the night, the day is dead
crawl in the unmade bed
let the candle burn til daybreak
Chorus:
Pray, pray to St. Anthony
To bring back the things gone lost
Pray, pray to St. Anthony
bring back the things gone lost
Another chance, a lucky break
he wouldn’t pay for his best mistake
dives into a running car waiting
Sugar Pete, so complete
looks out at the moving street
thinks of another life worth trading
he drove all night
he drove all day
but he couldn’t find a getaway
or the road of good intention
Chorus
Bridge:
Overheated motor done in by
a great will to see her
In troubled times
Troubled times
A dream on her tape recorder
says he’ll find his way back to her
She eyes the last piece of cake
a collect call from out of state
leaves her frozen in the doorway
not a single word is spoken
then the static is broken by a
‘happy birthday baby’
I’m forever missing you
I’m forever missing you
she knew he’d be forever missing
