lyrics

All of those years with a cross around her neck
The heart remembers what the body forgets
The child who comforts a mother who weeps
The rash from a ring, she had to burn the sheets

With hands too small to pray
Before she was taken, she made
A tin cross

Dowse the votives, break the statuettes
The branch remembers what the axe forgets
A child whose faith salved a mother's doubt
A quick prayer before the lights go out

With hands too small to pray
Before she was taken, she made
A tin cross
