St. Claire's Retreat

I said a prayer for good St. Claire

And then I said one more for you

'Cause when that evenin' sun came down, I felt blue

I never meant to do you right

Not like you've never done for me

The good old prayer was quick to offer her a treat

They say dreams are just feelings in a bottle

And I get to thinkin' I could use a few

And I get to thinkin' 'bout you

I should climb up on a mountain on my own two feet

'Cause the doors are always open

And the rates are always cheap

I'll leave a candle in the window

But I may as well like to

Say a prayer for good St. Claire

And one for you

Time has its way of making its escape

Years go by, I wonder where did all of ours go

If I could do things all over again

I'd have spent those nights with you

Left sweet Claire like a fool to someone new

They say touch is what we need to keep us livin'

But I've made a livin' out of lyin' to you

Lord, what did I do?

I started out with good intentions

With the sunshine comes the rain

Who knew the slightest provocation

Could wash good intentions all away?

I'll leave a candle in the window

But I may as well like to

Say a prayer for good St. Claire

And one for you

Say a prayer for good St. Claire

And one for you
