lyrics

Just As You Are

When you were a young girl you wore your high moccasins
and you drank hard and had an apartment
Your Mama and your Daddy
thought you must have grown up

You had a baby and married a soldier
Everyone said that you should’ve been older
After a year it was pretty much over
You drank your warm whisky, the nights just got colder

A traveling salesman sold you a bible
That you kept on your coffee table
When I saw you in Central City
You said you got rid of the devil

Then you took me to see Billy Graham
To the fairgrounds in St. Paul we went
Everybody was crying and praying
Gettin’ saved and singing ‘Just as I Am’

Just as I am - without one plea
To save a wretch like you and like me

Twenty years made you sad and lonely
Now your children have all gone their own way
Feel the pain locked up inside you
You can’t tell where the real you is hiding

You shut your bible and reach for the bottle
God loves a sinner as much as the noble
By the time you savor the changes
The sun’s shadow has all rearranged it

Just as you are - without one plea
To save a wretch like you and like me

Thea Ennen Wisconsin

I sing and write to make a sense of my existence - my place in this world. Each song is a specific journey down a road. They are my magic carpets to see again a memory or expectation. I use songs - melodies and words - to guide me, like a rudder through the waters of life. .

I think I sing in public to reassure this kind of journey- to never lose touch with what is instinctual.
