Press play before reading. Salute.
The Song of the Preacher Man
(A lone voice sings in the low hours. Guitar solo.
Such a soulful voice.
Can you hear him like me?)
____________________
It's a mystery
When things go wrong
And people think
They know all your history
When the incense of anger lingers
And seduction sings so strong
Awakening new sinners
And into the deep breach
Old friendships fall
No longer to be reached
Of once happy friends
Now divided until the end
But beautiful temptation
Always comes in smiling
For she lives in all nations
And new love sends all her white feathers
To lift your soul in all weathers
Just two souls introduced
Sharing new love letters
Filled with such treasures
Which lead to so much pleasure
In a cruel cruel world
Filled such pressures
Just two new hearts
Now beating as one
As their race runs
Until
The very end
No one loved now
To fall into the breach
And stay out of reach
But someone new to listen to
As they teach
It's just life
Complex as it seems
Four score and ten
Filled with people God sends
It's just life
Complex as it seems
Four score and ten
Filled with people God sends
Always looking for love
To carry you to the end
It's just life
Complex as it seems
Four score and ten
Filled with people God sends
Always looking for love
To carry you to the very end
