Purgatory Hill

Lyrics

Jack Dodd, Son of God
Now that you are sleeping
I can tell you how you came into this world
cause i know you can hear me now

Once upon a time, there was a little girl
Three young boys took her by hand
and they led her down to the playing field
And they all played together
as the sun looked on
A strange sort of game
She didn't know the rules
but when they were done
They said she won
That was the first time

Naughty little girl came home late
Mother cutting in the kitchen
turned around to hit her
but she caught her with the knife
Cried "What have i done?"
Then she held her in her arms
That was the only time

Jack Dodd, Son of God
Now that you are sleeping
I can tell you how you came into this world
cause i know you can hear me now

The years passed on
And this little girl was taken from her mom
and put into a box
where fears retire
and dreams are born

And that's where she learned how to fly
That's where she discovered ways
to leave her body behind
and how to travel through time

She had a dream lover, an angel of God
He hovered over her bed one evening
Struck between the legs
like a lightning flash
She knew she was conceiving
Then she watched the black curtains flap
like wings as he was leaving

Jack Dodd, son of God
Now that you are sleeping
Jack Dodd, son of God
Now that you are sleeping
Jack Dodd, son of God
Now that you are sleeping
Jack Dodd, son of God
Looks can be deceiving
But dreaming is believing
