a song i'm learning by Guy Clark

I wisht I was in Austin
In the  Chili Parlor Bar
Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas
And not carin' where you are

But here I sit in Dublin
Just rollin' cigarettes
Holdin' back and chokin' back
The shakes with every breath

Forgive me all my anger
Forgive me all my faults
There's no need to forgive me
For thinkin' what I thought
I loved you from the git go
I'll love you till I die
I loved you on the Spanish steps
The day you said goodbye

 

I am just a poor boy
Work's my middle name
If money was a reason
well I would not be the same

I'll stand up and be counted
I'll face up to the truth
I'll walk away from trouble
But I can't walk away from you

Forgive me all my anger ....




Well I have been to Fort Worth
and I have been to Spain
and I've been too bullheaded
to come in out of the rain


and I have seen the David
seen the Mona Lisa too
and I have heard Doc Watson play
Columbus Stockade Blues

Forgive me all my anger....




well I wisht I was in Austin  (  hmmnhmn )

a hearts' appeal for solace and refuge

prayer   to  Mary,
Undoer  of    Knots                                               

Virgin Mary, Mother of fair love,

Mother who never refuses to come to the aid of a child in need,

Mother whose hands never cease to serve your beloved

children because they are moved by the divine love

and immense mercy that exists in your heart, cast

your compassionate eyes upon me and see the snarl

of knots that exist in my life. You know very well how

desperate I am, my pain, and how I am bound by

these knots. Mary, Mother to whom God entrusted

the undoing of the knots in the lives of his children,

I entrust into your hands the ribbon of my life. No

one, not even the Evil One himself, can take it away

from your precious care. In your hands there is no

knot that cannot be undone. Powerful Mother, by

your grace and intercessory power with Your Son

and My Liberator, Jesus, take into your hands today

this knot.

[Mention your request here]

I beg you to undo it for the glory of God, once for

all. You are my hope. O my Lady, you are the only

consolation God gives me, the fortification of my

feeble strength, the enrichment of my destitution,

and, with Christ, the freedom from my chains. Hear

my plea. Keep me, guide me, protect me, o safe

refuge!

Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me.
