Lyrics
ST JUDE'S PARADE
My house is where I live
And your heart is where I will
But for time, You are mine
But for time, You are mine
(Chorus)
From the dark end of the street
To the wings beneath my feet
On my way to heaven's gate
From my head down to my toes
From my heart into my soul
I might say you've got it made
On St Jude's Parade
My life is a one way street
And you're everything that anyone could need
But for time, You are mine
But for time, You are mine
(Chorus)
From the dark end of the street
To the wings beneath my feet
On my way to heaven's gate
From my head down to my toes
From my heart into my soul
I might say you've got it made
On St Jude's Parade
(Instrumental Break)
(Bridge)
The streetlights stand like lions
Underneath the velvet moon
And the scattered stars like diamonds
Light the corners of your room
Are you with me or again' me
Hey are you my favourite saint
Some sweet day we'll stay
On St Jude's Parade
On St Jude's Parade
From the dark side of the street
To the wings beneath my feet
From the dark side of the road
From my head down to my toes
From my heart down to my soul
You've got it made
On St Jude's Parade
