about

A piece of fiction about a woman, a burned down house, a crisis of faith and the things we get to hold on to.

lyrics

Gladys is talking to ghosts again
She won’t admit it but I hear her whispering
Where this place once stood names that weren’t said too often
Shes got a rosary and a new song in heart she goes

“Does God know what he’s doing?” x2
Oh no Does God know what its doing?

Oh lord wont you please repair
It was swallowed by fire and water and air
Oh our spirits are losing all this room
Losing our place as family heirlooms

God, I guess we’re in your shoes
I guess we’ve caught your blues

Those boxes of tapes from years ago
Those soap opera blocks
Those small claims court shows
Those family movies that crackled so fine
They all survived

She said
I’m gonna need more than an insurance check
To level out, to level out the damage
In this sky so black with smoke
Can’t tell your birthright from dead people’s baggage

Does God know what it’s doing?
Does God know what she’s doing?
What we’re doing

Those boxes of tapes from years ago
Those soap opera blocks
Those small claims court shows
Those family movies that crackled so fine
They all survived

Those movies that played before the 10:00 news
Baseball games with patches of the Family Feud
Somewhere in the the spirits of our bedrooms still shine
They all survived, they all survived.
Don’t ask me why.
