Greg Brown - Living in a prayer

Everybody looks like someone i just saw five minutes agoif i looked too far in the mirror i know i'd have to runfrom copper harbour way down to acapulcowhere the sun shines on the moon & the moon gives it back to everyonei'm living in a prayerevery time i turn around some ghost wants to buy me a beerfeel like i'm living in a trashy novel where plot's the only thingthe fire's out the smoke has blown but still nothing is cleari could swear it's a summer day but then why am i freezingi should be therewhy god let us meet at this time i have no ideamaybe i have paid for my sins by now or i don't have long to livethe meadowlark's song in the evening is not as sweet as the one you sing to mei will dig deep in my pocketssee what boyhood treasures i can giveyou should be herei should be therelong as i'm in your hearti'm living in a prayer
