Kneel to pray before we eat,
Before we go to bed
My mother said, she said I had a saviour
But it seems my dreams have lost their way,
Bound for flame on judgement day
I pray that I get out on good behaviour
So baptise me, oh cleanse my soul,
Forgive me for the hearts I stole
It starts to take a toll as you grow older
Deliver me out of the hands
Of wolves in wool and sinner's plans,
Eternity's a burden I can shoulder
Oh, time has never stayed this slow
Oh, try to take me as your own
Oh, I was better off alone,
I was better on my own
Lord I'm coming home
Come on now, take me in,
Hear it howling in the blowing wind, I said
Come on now, bless my soul,
I fear I feel we're growing old, I said
Come on now, take me in,
If I die, oh let me live, I said
Come on now, bless my soul,
It's cold out here, oh don't you know, I said…
Oh, time has never stayed this slow
Oh, try to take me as your own
Oh, I was better off alone,
I was better on my own,
I was better on my own
Lord I'm coming home
Oh St Philomena,
How I prayed for a return,
Just learn that we have been forsaken
But with that big book on the shelf,
Maybe I'll convince myself
To share the loss, and bear the cross you've taken
