Faith Hope And Love Slip By

by john ambrosini 1983

Faith hope and love slip by
I can’t remember a time
When my shadow was this long
Where the pavement and the razor wire
Were so cold and sharp
Yet hot like fire
Where the fear of dying visions
Overwhelms my mind
Every prayer sounds like an argument
And every moment is a lie
All along this spray paint train
Faith hope and love slip by
I can’t remember a time
Where my world was so inside
Where everyone around me could have died
And i wouldn’t know it
Where dirt crawls through veins like poison
Every needle looks like a crucifix
Every laugh becomes a cry
As the day grows dark and cloudy
Faith hope and love slip by
I can’t remember a time
Where the Christmas tree was broken
Where the lamp post on the family lawn
Looked lost and lonely
Where the faucet water and the street ice
Were the same
I don’t know when I’m sleeping
And I can’t tell you why
As the smoke grows thick and painless
Faith hope and love slip by
