lyrics

Hey I heard you've been hangin round my home
girl you better find another man to adore
the stars shine brightly on my pistol and this whiskey sure tastes fine

Time passes slowly in the middle of the night
Shadows dancing slowly playin tricks with my mind
I'm not sure what he told you, but honey I've got some news for you

I told you once don't make me tell you again
You better stay away from my man
The moon is shining big and bright
And it's not me who's looking for this fight

I've heard the way He's been howling through the night
My man can only take so much temptation in this life
I know the game you're playin
Honey I've walked these roads before

I told you once don't make me tell you again
You better stay away from my man
The moon is shining big and bright
And it's not me that's looking for this fight

Find yourself a lily white church
And ask forgiveness from your sin
I'm sure God will forgive you
But Honey I'm not Him

There's one thing you've forgotten in your plight
My man ain't the kind to go step-in out @ night
so run, run, run to those hills
Cause if it's not me that gets you
Your past surely will

Find yourself a lily white church
And ask forgiveness from your sin
I'm sure God will forgive you
But Honey I'm not Him

The Days When Peonies Prayed for the Ants offers up a combination of sweeping string arrangements, stripped-down piano ballads, finger-plucked folksongs, and everything in between, all held together by a voice that's both emotional and elastic.
