lyrics

I went down to the mission
And I brought everything that I had
The last time I saw the rest of me
Was when I walked down that road feeling bad
Do you remember in the Summer
When I walked to the end of the road
I took my only dollar
And I paid for the last freak show

You walked me back
And you said that your heart was was well
What it was like to watch the sunset
From your room at the Empress Hotel

Chelsea and Margaret were still at the pulpit
But they didn't have much more to say
The radio blasted the truth so well crafted
But things rarely works out that way
On the steps of the church
Where the only thing that works
Is for sale and the price is high
You talked of the hope
That kept you off of the dope
Sang the songs that made you cry

And you walked me back
And you said that your heart was well
What it was like to watch the sunset
From your room at the Empress Hotel

The sidewalks were drunken prayers
And the air was so hot with pain
But old friend I am heartened
When I sing those old songs again

And you walked me home
And you said that your heart was well
What it was like to watch the sunrise
From your window at the Empress Hotel
