Mystery White Boy

Did you find yourself that evening
On the eve of twenty-nine
Did you hear your father calling
Did you say your last goodbye
Did the feeling overtake you
In the midnight Memphis breeze
Were they singing hallelujah
Could you hear it in the trees?
And it feels like
Yes it feels like
Don’t it feels like
We almost knew you
And the earth shakes
And their hearts break
When they hear you whisper hallelujah
As the radio played softly
You strummed that old guitar
And the moon shone Mississippi
Like the headlights of a car
And then you walked into the water
And you lay down in the waves
And a thousand hallelujahs
Came and carried you away
And there’s no pain anymore
And there’s no shame anymore
There ain’t no fear anymore
There’s only grace now
