Evening Prayer

Story Behind The Song

"Evening Prayer" is the closing track on Patsy Moore's album, Expatriates, a concept project that' is a story told in eleven parts...all about exiles and émigrés, dissidents and diasporas, the banished and the escaped...an intimate rumination on immigrants (willing and otherwise) and the displaced or transplanted--literally and metaphorically--among us...who, indeed, *are* us.

Song Description

"'Evening Prayer' is a warm meditation for the journeys of outcasts and misfits alike, and is as much an appeal to man's highest sympathies as to the hope of a divine directive for our lives." -Groove Loves Melody (http://bit.ly/hnDcxq)

Lyrics

Bless the lane lines on the highway
Bless the laugh lines on your face
Bless the addict in the doorway
Bless the things that cannot be replaced

Bless the crosswalk on the corner
Bless the boardwalk, Jersey Shore
Bless the misery of the mourner
Bless the things that will not be ignored

Bless the carefree, bless the burdened
Bless the spoon-fed and deprived
Bless the remnants of the fallen
Bless the few who made it out alive

Bless the heartbeat of the city
Bless the downbeat on the one
Bless the hollow-eyed and gritty
Bless the things that should not be undone

Bless the white lines on the freeway
Bless the laugh lines on your face
Bless the night light in the hallway
Bless the daylight, gone without a trace
