Walter Martin - In a Gothic Church lyrics

[Verse 1] See the orange sun drop on the street high heels clip clop The girls in fine dresses all cross when the cars stop Dirty old dogs bark in the alley where it's dark And I tie my necktie in the lot where the cars park Walking there up the stairs and I'm fixing up my hair I used to try to look nice now I don't really care My oh my, look who's come to say goodbye [Verse 2] To the church I walk in as the singing begins I nod to my old friend Tim (wow, his hair got so thin) A girl whispers, “How are you?” as slide into the pew I say,“Good, how 'bout you?” and she whispers,“Good” too Together we rise With the colored lights shining in our eyes [Verse 3] We're down on the ground where it's ugly and brown And up in the rafters heavenly sound echoes around The man in the robe with the candles I'm told Went to high school with my uncle Bob (wow, he's old) And everybody cries And gets down on their knees another time Yeah, everybody cries Goes searching through their pockets for a dime [Verse 4] Then we all stand and sing as the organ, it rings The big grand finale, some songs about kings The old folks feel redeemed and the children fuss and scream And I see myself, Lord, somewhere in between My oh my, maybe I got something in my eye But I can't lie, I can't tell the ceiling from the sky
