PRISONER

Words and music by J. Rae Perigoe


After all the screaming, drinking nights of long ago,

After all the mornings paralyzed on your pillow,

You have judged me wanting; I don’t disagree.

Bide my time in solitary pleading for clemency.


After all the cobblestones on which we slipped,

After all the condemnation’s done, to which you’ve gripped…



Let the prisoner out tonight.

He will see the morning light,

And be dazzled by the rays

That come bursting through the haze.

When the fog lifts, you’ll see it’s true:

That the prisoner (the prisoner, the prisoner) was you.


After all the ways we tried and failed to live through this,

Could it be the one thing missing now is forgiveness?
