The Twenty First Time
Listen Here.
nowhere to live, nowhere to fall
he used to have money,
but he’s wasted it all
his face is a photograph
burned in my mind
but i pretend not to see him
for the twenty-first time.
he sleeps under stars,
that’s all he can afford
his blankets and an old coat
he’s had since the war
he stands on the corner
of carter and vine
but i pretend not to see him
for the twenty-first time.
he may be a drifter,
he’s grown old and gray
what if he’s Jesus
and i walk away?
i say i’m the body
and drink of the wine
but i pretend not to see him
for the twenty-first time.
i say i’m the body and drink of the wine
