I am the preacher, melancholy and detached
I do not understand how a woman could run off and leave her child
I wonder if there are anything, anything
I could have done to make her stay
I know that she hated the fact that I am a preacher
I know that she hated the way the women at our Watley Church mader her feel
I couldn't bare facing the Watley Church people anymore after she left
I hated blaming them, feeling detached from them but
I did I felt they were part of the reason she left me, left us
I am alone raising a daughter and hoping beyond all hope
I am doing it right
I have feelings that are hard to put into words but somehow when
I look at that dog and in my daughter's eyes somehow
I know that the world is alright
I have found the music in my melancholy thanks to those two and the world is going to be alright
