The Innocence Mission – St. Francis And The Future lyrics
Oh make the future small
Like the painting we saw of St. Francis
And there was, far away, a background city-
We only saw it with magnifiers and light
And I do wish the future was like that
Don't I know it

Oh I will not move on
I'll be here on the lawn
In the same coat I have had
Although I ask that I could correct
Every time of mistake and every regret
And there's so much that I haven't yet
Don't I know it

And in the background of St. Francis
There were rivers, spires, a long way off
We could not really see them very well
I want to be beside you
Through all these things
Cannot
I want to keep this future
From such closer measure
Cannot very well
