lyrics

grandma said “he’s down in hell
but mother’s safe in heaven”
sent me to a catholic boarding school
I was barely seven
the chaplain read me holy stories
from the holy book
I made a vow to get to heaven
any way I could

he sung to me in soothing holy chords
“a child that is lost is still a child of the Lord
a child of the Lord”

I would dream of mother nightly
wake up crying in my bed
the chaplain came to comfort me
he was my only friend
he said “my son, you must be brave
your mother’s looking down on you”
I saw the white light in his eyes
I smelt the whiskey fumes

he sung to me in soothing holy chords
“a child that is lost is still a child of The Lord
a child of The Lord”
