Unholy Prayer

Ten years ago
Before I knew love
I walked down the aisle
Dressed white as a dove

Daddy said love
You must take his hand
We've nothing left
I've done all I can

Johnny made vows
But his word were a lie
I played my role
And tried not to cry

Nine months later
Our daughter arrived
She was too small to breath
My heart barely survived

Oh Father Lord forgive my sin
I opened the door and let him slip in
A ring on my finger but his is bare
He looks to your cross and pretends to care
Jack looks to your cross and pretends to care

Johnny drinks in the day
And he drinks through the night
I hold my tongue
Cause I'm never right

Takes what he wants
No matter the cost
I brace myself
When he gets cross

Oh Father Lord forgive my sin
I opened the door and let him slip in
A ring on my finger but his is bare
He looks to your cross and pretends to care
Jack looks to your cross and pretends to care

The man down the lane
With sweet silver eyes
Hand grazes mine
And brushes my thigh

When Jack holds me close
I can't feel the fear
Each loving kiss
Undoes the years

Oh Father Lord forgive my sin
I opened the door and let him slip in
A ring on my finger but his is bare
He looks to your cross and pretends to care

Oh Father Lord forgive my sin
I've tasted nothing as sweet as his skin
His hair in my fingers, his kisses so fair
I look to your cross and I pretend to care
I look to you cross and pretend to care
