He always gravitates to the minor key(s) As he navigates his way away from me He claims a guardian for every sailor in the storm But where are the patrons for those left on the shore
And as the darkness falls around me He takes my hand and starts to pray This is a hymn for all those left behind This is a prayer for every heart left barren This is a call for all the saints to be reminded To sing a hymn for all those left behind
She only dreams in shades of gray these days Now that her children have all grown And though her husband sleeps just two feet away When she wakes she feels alone
And as the dawn comes trough the window She lies awake, tries to recall If there's a hymn for all those left behind If there's a prayer for every heart left barren If there's a call for all the saints to be reminded To sing a hymn for all those left behind
If I don't make it pass the judgement If they never let me in Promise me a mention In that hymn
This is a hymn for all those left behind This is a prayer for every heart left barren This is a call for all the saints to be reminded To sing a hymn for all those left behind
This is a hymn for all those left behind This is a prayer for every heart left barren This is a call for all the saints to be reminded To sing a hymn for all those left behind
