A beautiful prayer like song. Accessing the past, wondering about the future, and never forgetting what and who shaped our lives. A love lost, or never meant to be. Some people will never be forgotten, some memories will never be gone. The end of Midnight Prayers. Tear up almost every time I hear this one.

PILGRIMS PRAYER
Lyrics by Mike Mccaffrey
Music by Duane Hultin
I wish i could fall into your schoolgirl eyes once again
And hold you in the flesh my broken hearted friend
I wish i could smell your wine breath on my neck
And taste your sugared lips
I guess i'll just have to pretend
It's so cold in Paris at this time of the year
But it warms my heart to know you once loved me here
Mona's bistro is still open so i'm drinking midnights cheer
I see you smoking at the window as these ghosts bring me to tears
I'm traveling hard and light
These days i travel alone
If you can hear this pilgrims prayer
Won't you carry me back home
Some nights i swear i hear you crying in my dreams
And even from this distance the wind sounds like screams
I raise you up in my heart like some lazarus scheme
I am guilty of all you said and every drop you bleed
It's raining down heat in central Singapore
I'm lost on Ben Coolen Street even though i've been here before
I'm drinking at the E & O with my eyes pinned to the door
I'm praying like a sinner that i will see you once more
