21 | When he said Bible I heard his southern accent \ | ||
22 | and he had a face I expect all pastors must have \ | ||
23 | a round open honest face \ | ||
24 | that will always be a boy's face \ | ||
25 | though its owner may rightly call himself a man \ | ||
26 | near my age though I hardly call myself a man | ||
27 | |||
28 | I have seen this face before whether in life or a dream \ | ||
29 | I can't tell \ | ||
30 | I might've seen him on the street once \ | ||
31 | twice who knows and his pastor's moon face \ | ||
32 | reminds me of something \ | ||
33 | some distant light my life used to own | ||
34 | |||
35 | One night on my birthday the moon was so strong it cast shadows \ | ||
36 | I could see to the far hill and back it was all clear to me | ||
37 | |||
38 | The moon hasn't done that in a long time \ | ||
39 | its face has been obscured by clouds for weeks \ | ||
40 | and that boy on the bus his face I've forgotten \ | ||
41 | I thought I recognized a good number of people \ | ||
42 | on that bus who I didn't know at all | ||
