Glory Hallelu

Glory Hallelu

These days you've come to expect it / Broken glasses, broken bowls / I'm just clumsy I suppose / Let them slip right through my fingers / My hands are cut upon the shards / and I'm left shaking, shocked, and scarred / Like when I was a girl and I broke the lamp in the parlor // You and me, we've done so much / Tried so hard to get it right / and when we get it burning bright / We knock it over // CHORUS: Glory, glory hallelu / This must be what lovers do / Glory, hallelujah / Breaking what we've mended // Just like my mother and her mother before / I repair those jeans that tore / sew the buttons on your sweater / And though I try to stitch in time / watching for wear and signs / The strain on these threads that bind / is always pulling // You and me, we've done so much / Tried so hard to get it right / and when we get it patched up tight / The edges start fraying // CHORUS // I'm not trying to say that it's all in vain / With all this pain we're like gold in fire / And we've come so far with these hearts so hard / Will they be enough to make it 'til the end? // I'm not giving up just yet / I'm not ready to forget / but love and pain, they're hanging on a scale / And who's to say what will weigh more? / Which of us is keeping score? / There's something to be said for good intentions // You and me, we've done so much / Tried so hard to get it right / Shot in the dark, without sight / but we keep on trying // CHORUS
