The Power And Glory Lyrics - Singles - Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer

He sang the power and glory down the hill at evenin 

The rain, the river roarin, wild geese at their grievin 

All the way to nashville town he strayed 

The power and glory did not come to meet him 

He worked the midnight diners, washed the weary dishes 

Street poets and vision miners, starry-eyed ambitious 

Blew like pilgrim leaves through the sad cafe 

The bards and climbers tradin dreams and wishes 

Once the famous aphrodite nightingale came callin 

Her court, her keepers friday, foes and hopefuls crawlin 

Poor, proud, aging queen, did her eyes betray 

The high and mighty know they're only fallin 

He came home as before, he had no one to sell to 

Kids 'round him on the floor, he sings like silver bells do 

When they ask of the world he will only say 

The power and glory ain't all that they tell you
