lyrics

I’ve been waiting for a sign, busy praying Jesus Christ
find a way to help me see the light.
Thirty winters spent beneath New England clouds and my own grief,
let it shine and bring me back to life.

Hallelujah and amen, over and over again.

Autumn comes and summer leaves, those colors start to fill the trees
yellow and orange and red.
Everybody stops and stares but they don’t seem to know or care
that those colors mean the trees are all but dead.

Hallelujah and amen, over and over again.

I’ve borrowed money and borrowed time but there’s one thing that I can’t hide -
my smile don’t come as easy as it seems.
Every day I think about paying my tab and checking out
and giving myself to an endless sleep.

Would anybody pray for me?
Would you pray for me?

Everybody leaves someday. I’ve tried and tried to make them stay
but they come to conclusions I can’t find.
My friends all go their separate ways and each year I grow more afraid
I’ll live in Suffolk County ‘til I die.

Will I live in Suffolk county ‘til I die?
I’ll be alone in Suffolk County when I die.

Hallelujah and amen, over and over again.
