[00:17.498]I'm seven years old
[00:20.051]And my bow-tie's askew
[00:22.954]Gonna get somebody of Jesus Christ
[00:26.158]In a brown velvet suit
[00:28.803]All the girls are dressed like angels
[00:32.037]How sweetly they sang
[00:34.636]Oh, be not afraid
[00:37.738]Of us delicate meringues
[00:41.406]The trailing skirts of God
[00:45.816]The trailing skirts of God
[00:50.284]The trailing skirts of God
[00:52.218]Have passed on by
[00:54.339]
[01:22.934]It's five years later
[01:25.311]And I'm on my knees again
[01:28.298]I am here to confirm
[01:30.985]What my parents began
[01:33.993]And I promise to abstain
[01:37.023]From intoxicating liquor
[01:40.060]But the flesh, it is weak
[01:42.972]And my faith was never stronger
[01:46.779]The trailing skirts of God
[01:51.108]The trailing skirts of God
[01:55.197]Yeah, the trailing skirts of God
[01:57.696]Have passed on by
[01:59.523]
[02:01.508]But how I will cling on
[02:07.432]Cause it's been a rich seam of song
[02:13.331]And though it's make-believe
[02:15.643]Can I bring myself to leave?
[02:18.525]This lie's been burning too long
[02:23.612]
[02:33.826]Sometimes in my teens
[02:36.398]Up in Kellyer's bedroom
[02:39.285]Skipping on Saturday evening mass
[02:42.432]For some solvent abuse
[02:44.990]And as the world spun around me
[02:48.173]And I eased to the floor
[02:51.270]Must remember to get that sermon
[02:54.004]Keep the wolf from the door, yeah
[02:57.689]The trailing skirts of God
[03:02.229]The trailing skirts of God
[03:06.376]Oh, trailing skirts of God
[03:09.008]Have passed on by
[03:12.246]Passed on by
[03:14.999]Passed on by
[03:17.984]Passed on by
[03:19.538]
[03:45.860]I've drifted far from you
[03:48.668]In this bloodless coup
[03:51.559]I've drifted far from you
[03:57.516]I've drifted far from you
[04:00.441]In this bloodless coup
[04:03.509]I say good day and adieu
[04:09.462]I've drifted far from you
[04:12.153]In this bloodless coup
[04:15.316]I've drifted far from you
[04:21.398]I've drifted far from you
[04:24.082]In this bloodless coup
