Danny peels away the bandage from the wound upon his arm And he presses on the burn mark with his palm He winces but it passes as he gazes at the storm Coming toward him like the serpent from the psalms
When he cries he makes no sound What's been said is said And done is done
He hears the roar of the passing Fords And tastes the spray from the splashing rain The glaring lights makes him squint his eyes But he's leaving home all alone
Mary stares into the candle flame and prays that he'll return But this time more than candle wax was burned So she licks her thumb and finger and another page is turned A page with words she wished she'd never heard
When she cries she makes no sound W hat's been said is said And done is done
He hears the roar of the passing Fords And tastes the spray from the splashing rain The glaring lights makes him squint his eyes But he's leaving home all alone
A tattered shirt from the city league A canvas sack in the back is all he needs
