Communion at the Greyhound Station

Intro Boarding call at gate four, body and the blood

Verse 1 She'd ridden through from Birmingham She'd ridden out from Macon next She held a paper bag of bread She held a stranger's number in her chest

Pre-Chorus I tore the bread for two I poured the wine in foam I said the words from memory And called the bench her home

Chorus Communion at the Greyhound station Body broken on the bench Wine in a wax cup, breath in a stranger Saved her at the chain-link fence

Verse 2 Old man slept across the heat vent Boy asleep on his sister's coat Driver counted out the tickets Driver counted us a vote

Pre-Chorus I tore the bread for two I poured the wine in foam I said the words from memory And called the bench her home

Chorus Communion at the Greyhound station Body broken on the bench Wine in a wax cup, breath in a stranger Saved her at the chain-link fence

Bridge Every station saves a sinner Every sinner has a name The road don't ask if you're forgiven The road don't ask the same Communion at the Greyhound station Body broken on the bench Wine in a wax cup, breath in a stranger Saved her at the chain-link fence
