John T. Wurzer - Canceled The Prayer At The Altar

I canceled the prayer at the altar
I altered the poem at the start
I started to end where I finished
And I finished the smile with a chart
I charted the stars by a love song
And sang to myself in the dark
I canceled the prayer at the altar
And altered the poem in the park

Darker than yesterday's prison
A prisoner free on the street
The street echoes blues on a good day
The day echoes who did you meet?
Meat on a barbecue Sunday
Sunday I lie at your feet
But I canceled the prayer at the altar
And altered the poem from my seat

With my feet slowed by mud and indifference
Indifferent with each passing glance
I'm glancing at shoes on the sidewalk
And side walking through empty romance
Romancing the west end of danger
And dangerously close to a dance
I canceled the prayer at the altar
And altered the poem at first chance

I was dancing through rivers of moonlight
Moonlight just rides on the vine
Lining them up on a fence post
And hosting the things that aren't fine
Fining the sinners for laughing
Laughing at tears in the wine
I canceled the prayer at the altar
And altered the poem by design

I canceled the prayer at the altar
I altered the poem at the start
I started to end where I finished
And I finished the smile with a chart
While I charted the stars by a love song
And sang to myself in the dark
I canceled the prayer at the altar
And altered the poem at the start
