Artist: The Nightwatchman
Song: Saint Isabelle
Album: The Fabled City
Capo 2
Intro:
Innocence and suffering, loneliness and grace
Pain and love and beauty, laughter death and faith
Where the rising fortune, meets the setting sun
I'm afraid my friend when one is left, it's just the same as none
Chorus:
I will always stand beside you
Defend you and mend you, sanctify you
I'll hold you and keep you and fight beside you
Follow you down love, I'm right behind you
Bridge:
God make a road straight, God make a road true
Saint Isabelle is coming through
God make a road straight, God make a road true
Saint Isabelle coming through
Intro
The textbook's on the table, the radio's on the shelf
And thank you for the offer, but I'll sing this one myself
In reverential silence, the crowd sang the pews
I climbed and climbed for hours, but oh my what a fuse
Chorus
Bridge
Intro
I'm surprised you didn't come forward when the cops dragged me away
There's a museum in the Netherlands, I hope to see again some day
There's a painting of a woman, gathering wood it's almost dark
In a world bereft of meaning, there's a flicker in the hearth
Chorus:
I will always stand beside you
Defend you and mend you, sanctify you
I'll hold you and keep you and fight beside you
Follow you down love, I'm right behind you
And, follow you down love, I'm right behind you
And, follow you down love, I'm right behind you
