Cheryl Wheeler - Right Way to Do the Wrong Thing lyrics

Somehow the fair-haired boy has lost his place Stepped from the golden light, fallen from grace Scattered promises like broken gla** Turned his heart away from all he has And you can't believe and you can't explain How a heart can beat and the world can change And it's left you wondering If there's a right way to do the wrong thing New love's a warm surprise to a sleeping heart We tell ourselves the old was wanting from the start Hot tears in children's eyes, for the nights he calls Photos of in-law aunts down off the walls Running now, he can't come clean And she can't understand what's changing This charade leaves her unknowing Everyday these cracks keep growing deeper Church scenes and blue bouquets, trailing gowns Don't foresee the ways the world can wear us down We swear forever, with a sentimental heart What God has joined together, now mostly falls apart
