St. Francis Songtext
von Delta Spirit

They′re all throwin' stones at the back of my home
Kickin′ the dirt in the air
Well, I left to think while they're thinking I'm stoned
Well, I had no cause to be there

Well, I left this town, well, I had something left
To bury the fear in my head
Well, it′s all it′s the same 'cause the city′s just as bad
It's full of people like me

We′ve all run away
Everyone wants what nobody needs
Silver and gold
Everyone wants what nobody needs


Well, I ran to woods and I preached to the birds
St. Francis talking to me
Well, they said I'd find love and the pain I′d endure
If I would just listen to him

With my ear to the ground and my heart full of lead
Well, I quietly listened to teach
Oh, with tears in his eyes he just looked straight through me
I awkwardly waited for speech

We've all run away
Everyone wants what nobody needs
Silver and gold
Everyone wants what nobody needs

Once I was sure that this love was the truth
Well, I quickly spit in his face
I returned to my home
Friends and I, we threw stones
Bragging that we knew the way
