One Sunday Morning (Song For Jane Smiley's Boyfriend)

This is how I tell him Oh but it`s long One Sunday Morning Oh one son is gone I can see where it`s dawning Over the sea My father said what I had become No one should be Outside I look lived in Like bones in a shrine How am I forgiven Oh I`ll give it time In silence without warning Holding my brow In time he thought I`d kill him But I didn`t know how I said it`s your God I don`t believe in No your Bible can`t be true Knocked down by the long life He cried out I fear what waits for you I can hear those bells Spoken and gone I feel if I feel well Now he knows he was wrong I am cold for my father Frozen underground Jesus I wouldn`t bother He belongs to me now Something sad keeps moving So I wandered around I fell in love with the burden Holding me down Bless my mind I miss Being told how to live What I learned without knowing How much more I owe Than I can give This is how I tell him Oh but it`s wrong One Sunday morning One son is gone
