Cushioned Caging
Ellen Kempner
[Verse 1]
And when the organ stops its playing
And all the people hushed their praying
I’ll come in and take a pew
Start arousing troops and walk out smiling
When all I know is cushioned caging
Beautiful books with missing pages
When all that’s left of me is my youth
Hoping that my hair will start it’s graying
[Chorus]
I knew you were a close call
I knew you were a close call
I love you, it’s all my fault
[Verse 2]
And when my hands will stop their shaking
All of this time I’ll still be baking
When all that’s left of me is you
Pointing out a person, I’ve been faking
[Chorus]
And I knew you were a close call
I knew you were a close call
I love you, it’s all my fault
