Church Key Lyrics by Devil and the Deep Blue Sea

Live from Dorothy Major

2016

[Verse 1: Patrick Kennedy]
Have you grown thirsty
Looking for the church key
Brother, I will take you home
Would you ever mind if we could never find it
Turning over every stone that we can see
Oh, where could it be
[Verse 2: Lizzie Quinlan & Patrick Kennedy]
Have you gone farther looking in the dark
For a fire that can keep you warm
Wander off the trail, lose track of all the details
Till we make it to our door, where we can sleep
Forever so it seems
[Chorus: Lizzie Quinlan & Patrick Kennedy]
Brother, don't you wait for me
Mother, don't you wait for me
Open up the gates for me and I will sleep
Till the morning calls me
[Verse 3: Lizzie Quinlan & Patrick Kennedy]
Did you take the harvest over to the market
Can I join you on the road
Oh, the load is barely just enough to carry
I don't mind the weight, I don't
It's all that I need
To bring you back to me
[Verse 4: Lizzie Quinlan & Patrick Kennedy]
Oh I have been working and my legs are burning
Brother, I won't take you home
When we all arrive, oh, I cannot describe
The feeling that is in my bones, warm as can be
It's everything to me
[Chorus: Lizzie Quinlan & Patrick Kennedy]
Brother, don't you wait for me
Mother, don't you wait for me
Open up the gates for me and I will sleep
Till the morning calls me
