reason to believe - aoife o'donovan lyrics

[verse 1]
seen a man standin’ over a dead dog
by a highway in a ditch
he’s looking down, kind of puzzled
pokin’ that dog with a stick
he’s got his car door flung open
standin’ out on highway 31
like if he stood there long enough
that dog’d get up and run

[chorus]
it struck me kinda funny
funny, sir, to me
still at the end of every hard*earned day
people find some reason to believe

[verse 2]
now, mary lou loved johnny
with a love pure and true
she said, “baby, i’ll work for you every day
and bring my money home to you”
one day he up and left her
and ever sincе that
she waits down at the end of that dirt road
for young johnny to comе back
[chorus]
struck me kinda funny
funny, sir, indeed
still at the end of every hard*earned day
people find a reason to believe

[verse 3]
take a baby to the river
kyle william, they call him
wash the baby in the water
take away little kyle’s sin
in a whitewashed shotgun shack
an old man passes away
take the body to the graveyard
and over him they pray

[chorus]
oh lord, won’t you tell us
tell us, what does it mean?
and at the end of every hard*earned day
people find some reason to believe

[verse 4]
a congregation gathers
down by the riverside
preacher stands with the bible
groom stands a*waitin’ for his bride
congregation’s gone, sun sets
behind a weepin’ willow tree
groom stands alone and watches the river rush on
so effortlessly
[chorus]
oh, he’s wonderin’
where can his baby be?
at the end of every hard*earned day
people find some reason to believe
oh, everybody’s wonderin’
where can her baby be?
at the end of every hard*earned day
people find some reason to believe
