Lord, I'm discouraged The circles have sucked in her eyes Lord, I'm discouraged Her new friends have shadowed her life Lord, I'm discouraged She ain't come out dancing for some time And I try to light candles But they burn down to nothing And she keeps coming up with Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine There's a house on the south side She stays in for days at a time more if I can post it

[artmaven]

His visits, they only take five or six minutes Lord, I'm sorry to question your wisdom But my faith has been wavering Won't you show me a sign And let me know that you're listening Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine I know it's unlikely she'll ever be mine So I mostly just pray she don't die ******************************­******** Dammit!!! I did it upside down. You'll hafta figure it out.

If you've ever seen someone fall out of your life and into drugs you know exactly where he's comong from... and Lord I'm no angel.

This song and this band COMPLETELY blow me away....and I've heard and seen some of the best. They're a cross between Springsteen, the Tragically Hip and R.E.M. and I'm HOOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I'm no angel I ain't been bad that way Can't you hear her She's that sweet missing songbird When the choir sings on Sundays And I'm almost busted But I bought back the jewelry she sold And I've come to your altar And then there's just nothing She keeps insisting The sutures and bruises are none of my business She said that she's sick But she won't get specific The sutures and bruises are none of my business This guy from the north side Who comes down and visits

[mrrrty]

does anyone have the lyrics to this song?
