St. Francis - Delta Spirit, Elijah Thomson, Bo Koster

They’re all throwing stones at the back of my home

Kicking the dirt in the air

Well I left to think while they’re thinking I’m stoned

Well I had no cause to be there

And out of this town while I had something left

Bury the fear in my head

Well it’s all just the same cause the city’s just as bare

It’s full of people like me

We’ve all run away

Everyone wants but nobody needs

Silver and gold

Well everyone wants, but nobody needs

Well I ran to the woods and I preached to the birds

St. Francis talking to me

Well they said I’d find love in a pain I’d endure

If I would just listen to him

With my ear to the ground and my heart full of lead

Well I quietly listened to him teach

But with tears in his eyes, he just looked straight through me

I awkwardly waited for speech

We’ve all run away

Everyone wants but nobody needs

Silver and gold

Everyone wants, but nobody needs

Once I was sure that this love was the truth

Well I quickly spit in his face

I returned to my home, friends and I, we threw stones

Bragging that we knew the way
