      D                          G
Well now on a summer night in a dusky room
                            D
Come a little piece of the Lord's undying light
                 A            G      D
Crying like he swallowed the fiery moon
                                     G
In his mother's arms it was all the beauty
I could take
                  D
Like the missing words to some prayer
     A
that I could never make

Chorus:
      G
In a world so hard and dirty
    D
So fouled and confused
           G                             A
Searching for a little bit of God's mercy
   G
I found living proof

I put my heart and soul,
I put 'em high up on a shelf
Right next to the faith, the faith that
I'd lost in myself
I went down into the desert city
Just tryin' so hard to shed my skin
I crawled deep into some kind of darkness
Lookin' to burn out every every trace of who
I'd been

Chorus:
You do some sad sad things, baby
When it's you you're tryin' to lose
You do some sad and hurtful things
I've seen living proof

You shot through my anger and rage
To show me my prison was just an open cage
There were no keys, no guards
Just one frightened man and some old
shadows for bars

Well now all that's sure on the boulevard
Is that life is just a house of cards
As fragile as each and every breath
Of this boy sleepin' in our bed
Tonight, let's lie beneath the eaves, baby
We're just a close band of happy thieves
And when that train comes, we'll get on board
And steal what we can from the treasures,
treasures of the Lord

Chorus:
It's a long long drought, baby
Tonight the rain's pourin' down on our roof
Looking for a little bit of God's mercy
I found living proof
I found living proof
I found living proof
I found living proof
