The Village Priest
The Village Priest marched over the hill with her
To exorcize the demons there where no one could observe
And all the children hid by the old big barn
Jumping out before the girl could come to any harm

And The Village Priest just ran away
I hope we meet again one day
In any case, we'll always pray
For you

Father Dearest sang of a Holy Land
Passing the collection plate among the weary hands
And all the children gasped at a glimpse of gold
Peeking from the leather pouch hidden in his robe

And The Village Priest just ran away
I hope we meet again one day
In any case, I'll always pray
For you

No one could remember
How long the man had been there
Everybody searched high and low...
We heard a window crash at the edge of town
And found the little chapel there burning to the ground

And The Village Priest just ran away
I hope we meet again one day
In any case, we'll always pray
We'll always pray...
For you
