We didn’t have money for food or rent To say the least we were hard pressed Then Mama spent every last penny we had To buy me a dancin’ dress Mama washed and combed and curled my hair And she painted my eyes and lips then I stepped into a satin dancin’ dress that had a split on the side clean up to my hip It was red velvet trim and it fit me good Standin’ back from the lookin’ glass There stood a woman where a half grown kid had stood ---

We live in a house upon the hill It’s just a mile away We look out to sea Dawn’s early light It chased the night away Sometimes I can’t tell if I’m you or me Alone in this room with the moon and the sea Listen to the space where she used to be Another life away Surrender smiles, epiphanies It’s almost every day And the sea’s in my bed And the moon’s in my head ---

And the sign says “Everybody’s welcome to come in and kneel down and pray.” But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all, I didn’t have a penny to pay. So I got me a pen and paper and I made up my own little sign. I said, “Thank you Lord for thinking about me. I’m alive and doing fine.” ---

See you at the barricades babe See you when the lights go low, Joe Hear you when the wheels turn round Someday when the sky turns black It appears because it’s what I feel I know I don’t understand If you ask you know I don’t mind kneeling But when my knees hurt I like to stand Instinct is the common lawyer A million years won’t erase Strike the chord I’m searching for Call it a committed race ---

Seated one day at the organ, I was weary and ill at ease, And my fingers wander’d idly over the noisy keys; I knew not what I was playing, or what I was dreaming then, But I struck one chord of music like the sound of a great Amen. It flooded the crimson twilight like the close of an Angel’s Psalm, And it lay on my fever’d spirit with a touch of infinite calm. It quieted pain and sorrow like love overcoming strife, It seem’d the harmonious echo from our discordant life. It link’d all perplexed meanings into one perfect peace And trembled away into silence as if it were loth to cease; I have sought, but I seek it vainly, that one lost chord divine, Which came from the soul of the organ and enter’d into mine. It may be that Death’s bright Angel will speak in that chord again; It may be that only in Heav’n I shall hear that grand Amen! ---
