Letra de Prayer Without Words - Mary Gauthier

Packing vagabond visions and a dream drenched hunger
for a home
Swaddled in road dirt, blood stained blankets and
poems
On a stormy suitcase Sunday I awakened to the scream
of the birds
They held their high notes and offered prayer without
words
Sinking in asphalt, speechlessness and what coulda
been
Surrounded by strangers, scarred stars, stoned broken
men
Riding the narcotic night 'til she swerved and smashed
into the curb
Morning spilled from the wreckage and offered prayer
without words
Chains on the mast pull the past, nothing lasts but
nothing ever ends
I leave town, break new ground, break down, leave town
again
Trapped in the circle, anchored to the weight of the

world
Under shooting stars that sink the skies and offer
prayer without words
Justice rides with jaundiced eyes, jaded judges bleed
the broken bench
Liberty's a homicide, she been flogged to death with
money's monkey wrench
Desperado apostates set fire to every holy word we've
heard
Silence billows from the burning book and offers
prayer without words
Surrender, that sweet cleaning girl, folds white flags
in Hallelujah Square
She can't remember where she's been, one day I'm gonna
join her there
Unpack my battered traveling case, hang out a sign
that says "Do Not Disturb"
Dissolve into a dreamless sleep that offers prayer
without words
