Lyrics for God Once Loved a Woman
God once loved a woman Her features soft and German And one day after sermon God followed her home Across the George Washington Where her blouse caught the sun And her eyes lit up like she just recognized someone Her son ran past the window She reached through the thin smoke And touched the yellow glass Through the cold burnin' past Now all the boneyards tremble with her name Just stay my sweet Lorraine Aah ah oo Aah ah oo Aah ah oo He felt her in him growing He wanted her to know him So when it started snowing God spoke to her from The path train platform The ground it shook Rats ran in swarms And scratched and clawed And through the fog there rose a form He said, "You are the most beautiful thing that I made." And he watched her face twist And melt toward the shade And now all the boneyards tremble with her name Ooh oo oo oo Something's there You don't care It's unfair It's the drain still clogged up with her hair Don't you get the concept? You ain't slept It's the dorm where her things were once kept Don't you care? It's unfair You ain't there It's the drain still clogged up with her hair Don't you get the concept? You ain't slept It's the dorm where her things where once kept
