Cowboy Junkies - All That Reckoning

Sing Me a Song

Sing me a song about life in America
Sing me a song of love
Sing me a song about life in your neighbourhood
Sing me a song of love

I know a man who dropped to his knees
Clasping his hands in prayer
Beside him, she said:
"It looks more like grief"
But mostly she just didn't care

Tell me a tale about the one you keep near
Sing me a song of joy
Tell me a tale about those that are dear
Sing me a song of joy

She veiled her days in pale hues of gray
The brightness of her children an undoing
She spent all her days in a cold burning rage
The brightness of her children was galling

Unburden your hearts, let loose your fear
Sing me a song of forgiveness
Make a fresh start, face all your fears
Sing me a song of forgiveness

He came to that moment in every man's life
He confronted the path before him
Betrayed by the emptiness days without light
He turned and he made a decision

Sing me a song of love
Sing me a song of joy
Beside him, she said:
It looked more like regret
But mostly she would like to forget
Sing me a song of love
Sing me a song of joy
