Old Prayer Lyrics

I used to pray when I was a child

Please God don't take them yet

Now he sings when the day is done

Now she stands in the setting sun

They find a way to say good-bye

One word at a time

Now he sings when the sun is low

Now she says, I know what I know

I'm learning how to keep them here

Two rooms in my mind

There he sings when the fire is low

There she says, I'll go when I go

I used to pray when I was a child

Please God don't take them yet

One day you'll sing when the day is done

And I will stand in the setting sun

And I will stand in the setting sun
