a body goes down
Once in a while A man comes along Even his failures were favorite songs Oh to have made something so unsurpassed As certain things fall away So certain things last A body goes down In the Mississippi waters Weighted by a beauty Afraid of its light Notify your holy men Console your sons and daughters And tell me one more time What is just What is right Chances are good We spread blasphemous lies Safe to say nobody knew what was inside Of course there is grace And those halos of pain Maybe he sang what he came here to sing  Speed on to the next world Speed on to the next life Better I'm sure by far Orpheus driven Treasures given Heal the most broken of hearts Speed on, speed on, speed on
