Susanna

Emily comes to my dreams, sometimes

She's got circles all around her eyes

I’m glad that her children are still alive

Thanks to Susanna, who cried for me

Susanna was teaching me girly things

She dressed me up in her Sunday clothes

Then down to the adults who play dominos

My father, embarrassed, he gets up and goes

Well, it's been a long time, let's go for a ride

Well, I'm glad to have you by my side

We'll pick up a friend from that old detention

And ride on a road that don't ever end

Ohh

Father was churching us, bitter and sweet

We met in the bank building down by the creek

There's a vault by the altar with secrets in keep

The elders and deacons denied everything

The elders would prey on the flesh of the youth

They laid hands on sister in that upper room

There's nothing to say, there's nothing you can do

The congregation won't ever believe you

And it's been a long time, let's go for a ride

I'm glad to have you by my side

We'll pick up a friend from that old detention

And ride on a road that don't ever end

Ohh

Ohh

Take me away, I don’t want it no more

Take me away

Take me away, I don’t want it no more

Take me away
