resplendent - bill mallonee lyrics

[verse 1]
i remember the dark clouds
rainin’ dust for days on end
blew all the earth to california
just left us here with the wind
in desperate times, you know everybody’s parts
when it’s your own lines you’re like to forget
’til what you were meets what you’ve now become
and it grins and says, “hey, haven’t we met?”

[verse 2]
lost my firstborn that winter
and my wife on the first day of spring
so i poured my sweat into the earth
yeah, to see what that harvest would bring
i remеmber howling fury
just like a plague of locusts
egypt’s punishmеnt for sins of pride
yeah, is that now what has come over us?

[chorus 1]
how much of this was meant to be?
how much the work of the devil?
how far can one man’s eyes really see
in these days of toil of trouble?
[verse 3]
honey, we’re all resplendent
yeah, honey, we are all thrift*store
like a wino with a twenty dollar bill
i’m forever and eternally yours
yes, and i can make you promises
if you don’t expect too much
yes, and i will go the distance
if you’ll please, please excuse the crutch

[chorus 1]
how much of this was meant to be?
how much the work of the devil?
how far can one man’s eyes really see
in these days of toil of trouble?

[chorus 2]
how much of this is failing flesh?
how much the course of retribution?
my, my, how loudly we plead our innocence
long after we’ve made our contribution
