lyrics

Saint Teresa

You ride around in the parking lot
of the Baptist church on a Sunday night.
You ride in circles
like a tilt-a-whirl.
You say your Hail Marys
like a little girl.
You pray the Our Father
and the Glory Be.
You clutch the handles
and a rosary.
Your head’s thrown back,
and your eyes are closed
like Saint Teresa
and the Holy Ghost.

I heard you had been married to a fireman
who died in a fire from the smoke.
I heard you had a son who sold insurance
and died at 47 from a stroke.
I heard you had a daughter in Salt Lake City
who left the church at 21.
She found the Book of Mormon in a hotel room,
and you never heard from her again.

I see you sitting on your front porch
in a rocking chair rocking back and forth.
A little smile across your lips
a glass of whiskey at your fingertips,
singing “Veni sancte spiritus.”

She’s made of stone,
and when she comes,
she comes alone.
