Church of the Lonely

Sweethearts never last down here

'Cause ain't nothin' sweet about love

We walk on the line, my dear

Fall and never get up

It's out of my hands, but I won't leave ya

Enough of your faith, where does it lead ya?

'Cause love is not fair and war isn't holy

This is our prayer in the church  of the lonely

Leave your tears at the altar

Your sons and your daughters

It's out of our hands

Time has finally caught us

We tried to be strong, but

It's out of our hands

With no fear for the law man

And no words for the judge

Oh, a lost child to a mother long gone

Nah, the Devil ain't done

It's out of my hands, but I won't leave ya

Enough of your faith, where does it lead ya?

'Cause love is not fair and war isn't holy

This is our prayer in the church of the lonely

Leave your tears at the altar

Your sons and your daughters

It's out of our hands

Time has finally caught us

We tried to be strong, but

It's out of our hands

Trapped in a lonely time

Waiting for what comes around

If that's what it's all about

Close my eyes and lay me down

So much to talk about

So afraid to let it out

But we'll find a way somehow

Close to here but far from now

Leave your tears at the altar

Your sons and your daughters

It's out of our hands

Time has finally caught us

We tried to be strong, but

It's out of our hands
