lyrics

Father asleep on the phone until dawn
mother spread eagle on some lawn

the Pieta, Pie Jesu
below pinhole lights
sparks of faint almost mute
Hallelu

the sons asleep in the garden
awoken by a shivering pardon

Pieta, Pie Jesu
washed in a husband's hands
then wrapped in a whispered
Hallelu

The Holy Ghost comes and haunts us
vinegar and honey comes and taunts us
oh Pieta, Pie Jesu

why have you forsaken us Hallelu?

Red strings hang
so soft
in the light of your window
Pieta, Pie Jesu

Oh dear dear lovely one
I don't know
if I can bear this with you
But I will try
I will lie where you wrestled through the night
with Pieta, with Pie Jesu
