Look up from the hymnal
look 'round at the faces
of families closing their eyes
We're taking Communion
and passing the offering hat
around at the same time
I reached for the hat
and take all the cash
And slide it into
my ragged coat sleeve
And leave in it's place
a note to explain
All of the reasons
that stealing has
led me to leave
If there was a worthy
cause for to give to
May I be so bold as to say
The givers not knowing
where their money's going
Is as sinful as throwing away
Stained glasses
shine on my red wine
And the sweat of my brow
drips to my shaking knees
A small sacrifice to benefit
one man's journey away
from America's seas
Sweet sweet
sigh of relief
Sweet sweet
O Baltic Sea
Sweet sweet
sigh of relief
Sweet sweet
O Baltic Sea
Sweet sweet
sigh of relief
Sweet sweet
O Baltic Sea
Nobody here
knows my name
Call it right or wrong
I bought my ticket
just the same
