Moss-Covered Grave of God - Dark Country Boy
He walked the marsh
Where the willows weep
Sun sank low
The water runs deep
A Bible clutched
But his grip let go
Faith slipped through like the undertow
Lanterns dim
Shadows play tricks
In the bayou
The silence sticks
Moss-covered grave of God
Who's to say where he trod
Left a man to wander alone
A pulpit turned to a stone
The choir sang
But he heard no tune
Just the rustle of leaves
And a silver moon
Snakes in the grass
Hissed the truth he feared
The voice of heaven
Had disappeared
Fingers trace
Where a cross once lay
Now the swamp has taken it away
Moss-covered grave of God
Who's to say where he trod
Left a man to wander alone
A pulpit turned to a stone
He la la
He la la
He la la
He la la
Moss-covered grave of God
Who's to say where he trod
Left a man to wander alone
A pulpit turned to a stone
He la la
He la la
He la la
He la la
