Saint

Lyrics for Saint

She always knows when people need stroking And is attracted to deathbeds and divorcees I dreamt she cared for my dying grandfather Lying naked face down on his bed She insists on total presence And knows how to get through to the rest of us She has entered me thousandfold often And undone knots at my most awkward Music loves too She reaches out to orphans and refugees Embraces them with thermal blankets Her favorite childhood moments Were at a hospital for the disabled I've seen her offer empathy to widows She attends funerals of strangers Her strongest memory is feeding children with leprosy Music heals too I'm here to defend it
