​christmas eve

Went ahead and brought the water home
From the well down the street
Got some dirt on my feet

But if you make a mess in here again
I won't hesitate to let you know
You won't have enough to cook your bowl
You gotta let it down the kitchen drain

If I catch hell from the town
Bring my seeds in a handful
Drop them all, what's it all for
Such a crying shame
That they could grow from my pain

Never got ahold of my sea legs
So I stumble in the earthquake (in the earthquake)
And I crumble in the hurting (crumble in)

Once you pull yourself out from the wreck (wreck)
They won't let you know they got hurt too (be around)
They won't be around to lecture you (be around)
They will black the stars above your head (black the stars)
They will turn you out to fare the rain (turn you out)

If they wanna tie me to the post
Tell em I don't love Christ no more
Tell em I'm rotted down into my core
I feel the wind whip all around me
I feel my blood stream like a fountain

Am I in hell or in heaven?
What type of shit am I shovelling?
What is the war in my soul for?
Will you bring me a steed or an old horse?
