Chord progression so I remember it later...
Gmaj7-C-Csus4
Dmaj7-Ebmaj7
Eb-C
Umm... I think... I'm not good at naming these kinds of chords... those names might all be wrong, I'm such a music theory doofus.
Lyrics

Danny peels away the bandage from the wound upon his arm
And he presses on the burn mark with his palm
He winces but it passes as he gazes at the storm
Coming toward him like the serpent from the psalms

When he cries he makes no sound
What's been said is said
And done is done

He hears the roar of the passing Fords
And tastes the spray from the splashing rain
The glaring lights makes him squint his eyes
But he's leaving home all alone

Mary stares into the candle flame and prays that he'll return
But this time more than candle wax was burned
So she licks her thumb and finger and another page is turned
A page with words she wished she'd never heard

When she cries she makes no sound
What's been said is said
And done is done

He hears the roar of the passing Fords
And tastes the spray from the splashing rain
The glaring lights makes him squint his eyes
But he's leaving home all alone

A tattered hat from the city league
A canvas sack in the back
And that's all he needs
