The Glory Goes

Lyrics

Well, the glory goes to those who do not seek it
 Revelling in midnight clothes among the wicked
 Picking scabs from off their skin and rolling holy deeply
 Into the rhythm of a song that does not end
 You remind me of something, a song that I am
 And you sing me back into myself
 When I wake, when I'm sleeping
 The song is a man and a woman and everything else
 And my mother is a good one, as they go
 She does not condone the actions that
 I do that she don't know
 She swears nightly before resting that
 I give her soul a testing
 When I sing this song that does not end
 You remind me of something, a song that I am
 And you sing me back into myself
 When I wake, when I'm sleeping
 The song is a man and a woman and everything else
 It's been years since I found it, I still know where it pounded
 My ear pressed to the chest of that one woman of song
 She adores me, she ignores me and I revel on
 In wonder at something so sweet and so long
 I like the places where the night does not mean an end
 Where smiles break free and surprise is your friend
 And the dancing goes on in the kitchen until dawn
 To my favorite song that does not end
 You remind me of something, a song that I am
 And you sing me back into myself
 When I wake, when I'm sleeping
 The song is a man and a woman and everything else
