YouTubeOur Lady of the Bus Depot is holding forth tonight 
Her body it is wasted but her eyes are shining bright 
And our father who art slightly drunk is warding off the shakes 
And he staggers underneath the weight of the promises he makes
Say grace - say grace 
Forgive yourself for all of your mistakes - 
You can start all over if that's what it takes 
Corne inside and set yourself a place 
And say grace 
We are gathered here together to praise his holy name 
In a shelter by the Greyhound station down on 5th and Main
And as to who we're praying to there run two schools of thought 
A benevolent provider or an unforgiving god 
Say grace - say grace 
Forgive yourself for all of your mistakes 
You might find salvation in your neighbour's face 
Come inside and set yourself a place 
And say grace 
Well the bible on the table's sayin' be of good cheer 
But the TV in the corner's screamin' you're not welcome here 
And on a poster in the waiting room she greets the tired and poor 
Our Lady of the Harbour stands beside a golden door 
Say grace - say grace 
Forgive yourself for all of your mistakes 
You are not a loser, you are not a hopeless case 
Come inside and set yourself a place 
And say grace
