The Glory Goes - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

Well, the glory goes to those who do not seek it

Reveling in midnight clothes among the wicked

Picking scabs from off their skin and rolling holy deeply

Into the rhythm of a song that does not end

You remind me of something, a song that I am

And you sing me back into myself

When I wake, when I’m sleeping

The song is a man and a woman and everything else

And my mother is a good one, as they go

She does not condone the actions that I do that she don’t know

She swears nightly before resting that I give her soul a testing

When I sing this song that does not end

You remind me of something, a song that I am

And you sing me back into myself

When I wake, when I’m sleeping

The song is a man and a woman and everything else

It’s been years since I found it, I still know where it pounded

My ears pressed to the chest of that one woman of song

She adores me, she ignores me and I revel on

In wonder at something so sweet and so long

I like the places where the night does not mean an end

Where smiles break free and surprise is your friend

And dancing goes on in the kitchen until dawn

To my favorite song that does not end

You remind me of something, a song that I am

And you sing me back into myself

When I wake, when I’m sleeping

The song is a man and a woman and everything else
