lyrics

She stuck out her thumb
ticket for one, anywhere numb
to curl up and hide
Too many wrongs
pitiful songs and carriages on
the Upper West Side

Oneonta
This girl at your altar
Please hold her tonight

Seems she'd forgotten
there is no God when
praying for what men cannot become
So she wished them all well
lifted the veil, tucked in her tail
and followed you home

Oneonta
This girl at your altar
Please hold her tonight

Wallowing deep in the why
Messes with every goodbye
Unsteady she goes, leaping slick river stones
Toward the other side

His hands leave her hips
as the heaviness of memory drips
like rain from her hair
Maybe she knows forgiveness is slow
but somebody show
her how to get there

Oneonta
This girl at your altar
Please hold her
Please hold her
Please hold her
Please hold her
Tonight
