About the Artist
Lyrics
[Verse 1] He's out of Newark, a retired detective Tryin' to lose some of what he'd seen He had twenty-five years on the streets Where the Lord does not intervene Packed his shaving kit into a small suitcase Slipped the rosary off the night shelf Just the cross remains of his faith Was all that he had left [Chorus] And the pale sun of the evenin' Cut through the windshield as he drove Head south on thе Jersey Turnpike To thе Lady of Monroe [Verse 2] He and his wife, they'd raised a daughter But his job was all he'd ever really known Now she was in southern Indiana With a family of her own As the refinery fields went rushin' by Thought of his little brown-eyed girl Shootin' cans in the river with his old .22 As the summer trees unfurled [Chorus] And the pale sun of the evening Slipped down, velvet and low Heard murmured prayers softly rising To the Lady of Monroe [Verse 3] His rosary hung from the rear-view mirror A map 'neath the Burger King bag in the front seat His gun's tucked deep in the glove box Another useless tool of his trade he'll never need From his desk in the south precinct He'd walked that dirty mile Well, that was all over now He was gonna learn to live, just to live for a while [Chorus] Virgin Mother, give me peace Peace I've never known In the sunlight, lifted hands softly swayin' To our Lady of Monroe
