The Priest Lyrics - Ivory Hours

I saw him in the church 

With is white robe on 

I always wondered why 

His eyes were so dim 

Walking down the aisle 

Like his dog just died 

And the whole damn world 

Was weighing on him 

I'd see him walk home 

Like a shadow of a man 

Disappear for a while 

Into a whiskey binge 

Bottle in his right hand 

And then he pulled the trigger 

Help him help him please 

He loves her but she doesn't know 

He loves her but she doesn't know 

Well the day she got back 

He was halfway dead 

But the look in her eyes 

It brought him back again 

He gave her all the letters 

That he never could send 

He forgot his vow 

And told her everything 

Well now I never see him 

But I hear he's fine 

He married that girl 

And never thought twice 

But if he couldn't have her 

I know it would've killed him 

Help him help him please 

He loves her but she doesn't know 

He loves her but she doesn't know
