Reverend Samuel Harper Lyrics by The Restoration (USA)

Constance

2010

I’ve been dreamin’ about Sherman
Burnin’ my vows away;
And I can't say God sent the Union
But there’s a lot I can’t say
All my freedoms and lessons
And vict’ries and venoms
And O Lord, the price of restraint
My visions of women laid open
Engraved on the backs of my eyelids
Asleep or awake
I’m on fire
I am on fire
A line of drunken soldiers
Come to the church house to blaze;
And I sit on this hill here, exploding—
The wind was outrageous that day
No more women’s confessions
About husbands and children
Brutal and distant while I grow insane
From all this discretion
My freedoms and lessons
And all of my life
Like the church house inflamed
I’m on fire
I am on fire
Watch the stained glass explode:
Praise the Union, praise God
I was a prisoner, but now I am not
The ash looks like snow
No more lost in thought;
Watch the stained glass explode:
Praise the Union, praise God
