Will Wakefield - The Carpenter's Dead lyrics

She walks across the bricks With black toenails, barefoot and beautiful She stands upon the wall Smiles down at me, like an angel But I know she's hurtin' inside Regrets, mirrored in her eyes She's all alone, but she's surrounded But she won't let me in And now she's shut that door I wish I could help, I wish I could do more Then she screamed "the carpenter's dead!" There's nothing left but wine and bread A shot rang out and the room turned red Here's my communion, the matchbook read She said like a needle In a haystack, one in a crowd You clutch tight 'cause the Needle gives you life, tracks in your arm But I love her for whatever she is And I don't know just what she is Cause I can't tell Who can say what she is Cause she's nothing to me But she's everything to me, she's everything to me if hell is below, then why does heat rise Baby up to the heavens, yeah up to the sky? I don't have any answers for you She said I didn't expect you to She said can you see him? But nothing was there She said can you see her? she's everywhere Jesus, where are you now Jesus, where are you now Well maybe the carpenter is dead But look inside yourself instead You're hanging on to life by a thread I've always loved you, was all she said
