THE RAPHAELS LIFE IS A CHURCH
STUART ADAMSON
Watchin' the surf cover up my toes
Breathing the salt air from the coast
Ten years old with my eyes pressed closed
Life is a church, life is a church
Remembering first love's tender kiss
Mourning the loss of my innocence
Bittersweet taste of it on my lips
Life is a church
These are the sacraments
This is the altar
Love is the spirit
Making the blue planet turn
Life is a church, yes it is
Watching my first child being born
Written all over you pain and joy
Holding your hand, it's a little boy
Life is a church
These are the sacraments
This is the altar
Love is the spirit
Making the blue planet turn
Life is a church, yeah it is
Ashes to ashes, earth to earth
The preacher throws in the first handful of dirt
My little boy asks me, does goodbye always hurt
Life is a church, life is a church
Life is a church
These are the sacraments
This is the altar
Love is the spirit
Making the blue planet turn
Making that blue planet turn
Making that blue planet turn
Making that blue ... planet turn, planet turn
Making that blue planet turn
Making that blue planet turn, making it turn
Life is a church, life is a church

that's why one of the great artists, The Edge loved him so much and said that Stuart Adamson wrote the songs he wished U2 could... pure heart. U2 is one of my all time BEST... so that is a heartfelt mouthful... Just a buddy to stand with, Bono...
-
I totally fucking agree
-
Lovely song
-
Well what can I say .....just brilliant! best song on the album! but love the album though!
-
I think this song has a guest vocalist, Russ Taff. LOTS OF TALENT on that album.
-
BTW skapaul69, you know that's actually Marcus Hummon on lead vox w/Stuart on guitars, so as to let the viewers know. Stay Alive, Clem In Cin City USA

Absolutely every song Stuart Adamson has written or performed is, for me, the best song in existence. Every single one of his songs is filled with meaning and I think it a terrible shame that he is not better known among my generation.
