The Wrote & The Writ - Johnny Flynn[00:00:01]

Written by：Johnny Flynn[00:00:10]

Taking pictures of the man from God[00:00:27]

I hope his cassock's clean[00:00:30]

The burden of being our holy fellas[00:00:33]

Your halo'd better gleam better gleam[00:00:36]

What of all those wayward priests[00:00:41]

The ones who like to drink[00:00:44]

Do you suppose they'd swap[00:00:45]

Their blood for wine[00:00:47]

Like you swapped yours for ink for ink[00:00:49]

You wrote me oh so many letters[00:00:54]

And all of them seemed true[00:00:57]

Promises look good on paper[00:01:00]

Especially from you from you[00:01:03]

The weight of all those willing words[00:01:07]

I carried all alone[00:01:10]

You wouldn't put your pen to bed[00:01:13]

When we hadn't found our own our own[00:01:16]

Your sentences rose high at night[00:01:31]

And circled round my head[00:01:34]

The circle's since been broken[00:01:37]

Like the priest before me is breaking bread[00:01:40]

I'm being asked to drink the blood of christ[00:01:44]

And soon I'll eat his flesh[00:01:48]

I'm alone again before the altar[00:01:50]

Shedding all my old regrets[00:01:54]

The last of which[00:01:58]

I'll tell you now[00:01:59]

As it flies down the sink[00:02:02]

I never knew a part of you[00:02:04]

You didn't set in ink in ink[00:02:07]

The letters that you left behind[00:02:12]

No longer shall I read[00:02:15]

Your blood's between the pages[00:02:17]

And I can't stand to see you bleed[00:02:21]

And I'll soon forget what was never there[00:03:07]

Your words are ash and dust[00:03:10]

All that's left is the song I've sung[00:03:12]

The breath I've taken and the one I must[00:03:16]

If you're born with a love for the[00:03:20]

Wrote and the writ[00:03:21]

People of letters your warning stands clear[00:03:24]

Pay heed to your heart and not to your wit[00:03:26]

Don't say in a letter what you can't in my ear[00:03:29]
