Hem - Strays lyrics

In the summer of my wedding As the corn burned in the field Oh, I lay down for my baby And let the sweet smoke stain my heels Well, I lay there till the midnight When the dogs, they run through town And I rose up just to listen And I never lay back down Then the morning, it came upon me And I set my soul to search From the tall gra** down the main road To the stained gla** at the church Lord my shepard help me pray Though I left my heart to stray Though I left my heart untrue I can follow, I do, I do And I can name them in my dreaming I can set my soul to rest I can chain them to my body Let them settle at my breast Now see them coming to my wedding Where I will teach them not to stray Oh, they'll carry my salvation Oh, they'll carry me away
