Candle

Light a candle in the church On my knees until it hurts Absolution for my sins In a bubble full of pins On my knees Till they bleed The choice is made Can't run away Precepts in my holy book I read, I spoke, I understood A uniform, fancy dress But deeds are waiting, catching dust On my knees Till they bleed The choice is made Can't run away The years are passing by Despite how hard I try A sermon or a sin? Can't tell the difference On my knees Till they bleed The choice is made Can't run away
