Excerpts I frequent pubs from down the road There’s no forebearances known I’ve been quoting excerpts from a book I’ve never read And darling I can’t show That I want To leave him I need to meet you My call, my study The flavor’s gone I heard a story from the hall Of a priest’s ignoble fall He’d been sending love notes to a student in his class And in a day he was gone You saved me Guide me as you could Gave me peace like He should But I’ll keep quoting excerpts from a book I’ve never read Because it’ll do more good Following the Word, They’re the words in your letters Seminary life and the writs of my guilt I’ve always done for me so I will not leave The men here I’ve loved, and the home I’ve built And if you see me from the hall You’ve found your faith but then you can’t recall How I can always love you if we never speak again And then we’ll both find God
