Clay Lyrics by Duncan McCarthy

Sinners Welcome

2018

[Verse 1]
The city's heat
The city's heat
Came closing in
Closing in
And I'm in retreat
It's got me beat
I cast my hand
Cast my hand in clay
In clay
In clay

[Verse 2]
There's ink on my skin
Blood on my feet
Just leave me be
Let me sleep
The map of my sins
I lost in the street
Don't look at me
Don't look at me that way
That way
That way

[Chorus 1]
You must think I am blind
Or dumb enough to not know my own mind

[Verse 3]
My indigo bird
My painted word
Will wash away
Wash away
I laid my head on your backlit bed
I've crawled and strayed
Will not be saved today
Today
Today
Today
Today
'Coz man is made of clay

[Chorus 1]
I don't want to seem unkind
But I need to find
Some place to unwind

By Duncan McCarthy, 2018
