Sacramento

from Chris Cunningham's Madly Out the Cabin Door
(also on Storyhill (self-titled) and Stages)

Might be right as rain
To fall down in the gutter
Disappear down the drain
Last time we spoke I told you
I was going undercover
Probably never see you again
I gave away my golden timepiece
To my nephew for safekeeping
Made my way to the house of mercy

Chorus
Sacramento
Sacramento
Sacramento

Took communion for the last time
At St. James, where I was baptized
Jumped a train for warmer weather
Voices in my head console me
You will find a home, they told me
Make your way to the house of mercy

Chorus
Sacramento
Sacramento
Sacramento

Might be right as rain
To fall down in the gutter
To sleep out in the weather

Chorus
Sacramento
Sacramento
Sacramento
(?? Find me back ??)
Sacramento
(Make your way to the house of mercy)
Sacramento
(?? Ain't gonna find me back ??)
Sacramento
(Make my way for the house of mercy)
