lyrics

Hands in the air, and their feet on the ground
asking forgiveness, their soul to be found
Down in the bayou there's a voice singing out
a music called gospel, finger picking on sound

Heed without warning, make a move on my beliefs
make a record, turn a speaker, put the dirt right on my face
hands squeezing tighter and the blood is running thin
and the almighty dollar is marching

Spent the days dancing on collared blues
Hallelujah my Lord! Have you heard the good news?
oh my soul
Marianne, won't you play us a tune?
Holding hands in the church yard, we will carry through

Days are lasting so long, she's been molding thoughts of you
The songs that play inside her, meant to gather more than two
Marianne you're not a racer, love a circle for those who lose
If you're gonna take the spoils, you've got nothing left to prove

Spent the days dancing on collared blues
Hallelujah my Lord! Have you heard the good news?
oh my soul
Marianne, won't you play us a tune?
Holding hands in the church yard, we will carry through

Hopped a train from Poughkeepsie, heading east of New York
Left my shoes on the rooftop, my hem on the floor
and I feel more like swimming, so start kicking your legs
no use fighting that current without holes in your jeans
no your hats not worth bringing, leave your coat at the door
they don't help much for singing or settling scores
Hope I don't bat an eye at the sirens and songs,
yeah I hope I believe, hope that I don't belong,
yeah I hope I believe, hope that I don't belong,
hope the saints are still lovers and the lovers have songs
yeah I hope I believe, hope that I don't belong,
hope the saints are still lovers and the lovers have songs

Spent the days dancing on collared blues
Hallelujah my Lord! Have you heard the good news?
oh my soul
Marianne, won't you play us a tune?
Holding hands in the church yard, we will carry through

The soulful vocal stylings of Hope Glenn meet the upbeat folk guitar work of her husband, Tim Glenn. The result is something new, yet familiar, singable, and fun. Like butter on your pancakes, the music melts in front of you before you fall in love.

We're married, so don't get any ideas.
