two dollar bill - May Sorrow Make No Home Lyrics

The bride and groom were young, but older in love than us
Out in the dense Missouri heat
I was sticky and drunk, so sick with my fault
But lucky for the friendship that makes laughter out of salt

May sorrow make no home in my heart
May sorrow fail to find the road that I will walk
May sorrow make no home in my heart
May sorrow make no home in my heart

I look out from the boarding gate - am I the loneliest?
Among all the strangers ebbing like the sea
The space between the ground and me shivers as it grows
I'm close as kin to this strange crowd but distant from my own

May sorrow make no home in my heart
May sorrow fail to find the road that I will walk
May sorrow make no home in my heart
May sorrow make no home in my heart

It was cold today but there was warmth nonetheless
In the din of sparrows nestled in the trees
The baby loves this wind, it catches all his cries
Chaps his cheeks, flutters the lashes of his wide open eyes

May sorrow make no home in his heart
May sorrow fail to find the road that he will walk
May sorrow make no home in his heart
May sorrow make no home in his heart
