Thieves And Villains - South St. Hymnal

I see his father now from time to time
he wears a smile but you can't undress the sadness from those eyes,
he haunts a drink and wants something to believe.
He says, "God took everything, everything from me."
[00:44.84
[01:45.62
and I can't hear the choir singing now
[01:55.20
And I breathed my life into this child,
he was young, he was brilliant, bright, and wild
I was a fool to think I'd ever see the day he'd become a better man than me,
and carry on my name.
I can't hear that choir singing now
[02:03.34
I've been down this road before
and my heart, it took a toll.
When all the good is gone,
and I can't hear that choir singing now
I walked down, this road alone
when this town, it felt like home.
