John Moreland Amen, So Be It song lyrics

So your heart is not a souvenir

Singing from behind a sad veneer

And tell me, did you lose your calling card?

When they brought the gavel down so hard

Well it takes a long time to get it back

The bread you paid and the breadth you lack

Amen, so be it

Amen, so be it

Amen, so be it

Amen

So they're pulling all the stops out

You better start pulling all the props out

And hope nobody has a sharpened word

For such a precious little bluebird

Lord, it takes a handshake to do it right

The friends you lost in the wars you fight
