Date For Church (Joe Henry)

from Jealous Of The Moon by Scott Ainslie

/

about

A haunting and innocent adolescent love song that channels shyness nearly into the realm of stalking, but in my own heart, not quite! From a fine and dark songwriter.

lyrics

Date For Church (Joe Henry)

I’ve got a date for church tonight. I’m meeting her inside.
So I’m goin’ down to Miller Road, try and catch me a ride.
I’ve got a date in the second pew. And if you don’t see me,
I might be late, might just be watchin’ her from the balcony.

I’ve seen her home so many times.
I’ve seen her up in town.
I’ve seen her slippin’ out the back
When her mother’s shades were down.

I’ve got a date every Wednesday night, but I don’t close my eyes for prayer.
And if I leave before the closing hymn, she’ll never know I was even there.She’ll never know. She’ll never know. (2x)
