[Verse 1]
Once upon softer times
I met a man
Who'd made some records I admired
Though he wrote like a sinner
As far as I could understand
From the front pew of my choir
But now I watched
As he walked the walk
Like a goddamned saint
And one of the walls I'd built
Around what I thought I felt came tumbling down
And a trickle of light shone in
From somewhere I hadn't been
Since I'd been told to quit poking around
As if God himself were saying
Go on, it'll be okay
You've got a goddamned saint with you now
[Verse 2]
Thus upon softer times
We bared our souls
In the good old-fashioned hope
Of changing one another
I recited parables
And he listened with an openness
I heard
As clear as any words
He could've preached or prayed
