Bible in a Drawer Songtext
Clara was my boyhood love
She sliced across her stomach once
Her parents rushed her to the hospital
In sixty days, when she returned
She was saved or so I heard
Her newfound virtue swallowed down her charm
Well acquainted with her lord
His savage will and his accord
Clara and I don′t talk at all no more
The Clara I remember
I swear I loved her better when she used to keep her bible in a drawer
This one enlisted boy I knew
Liked to talk but never screw
Before we could, they sent him off to war
Though he was too polite to say
I sensed something in the way
Echoes from a bible in a drawer
Before my mother spoke in tongues
She and I could talk for hours
I'd pester her as she would tend to chores
In recent years, I fear, we don′t have the same rapport
As when she kept her bible in a drawer
Boys and girls, listen here
Though I know my time's not here
Let me assure you this before I go
I read it years ago, but I won't swear on it before
They tag my toe and slide me in a drawer
She sliced across her stomach once
Her parents rushed her to the hospital
In sixty days, when she returned
She was saved or so I heard
Her newfound virtue swallowed down her charm
Well acquainted with her lord
His savage will and his accord
Clara and I don′t talk at all no more
The Clara I remember
I swear I loved her better when she used to keep her bible in a drawer
This one enlisted boy I knew
Liked to talk but never screw
Before we could, they sent him off to war
Though he was too polite to say
I sensed something in the way
Echoes from a bible in a drawer
Before my mother spoke in tongues
She and I could talk for hours
I'd pester her as she would tend to chores
In recent years, I fear, we don′t have the same rapport
As when she kept her bible in a drawer
Boys and girls, listen here
Though I know my time's not here
Let me assure you this before I go
I read it years ago, but I won't swear on it before
They tag my toe and slide me in a drawer
