Lyrics

The Birthplace Of Saint Dymphna

From where do you come?
The birthplace of Saint Dymphna
I figure I’m here now
to address the lacuna
wondrous as it is
I wonder
our father, glory be
one bad mother.

I was off on a journey
And was the stranger come to town
the image I requested
was unavailable or
nowhere around
I’ll tell you one thing
everywhere I go
somebody always knows something
I don’t know.

How do we redo
things we don’t remember?
Make do and mend
and thank you
because some shit lasts forever
wondrous as it is
I wonder
our father, glory be
one bad mother.
