I watch the film Elmar Gantry last night about a conman/preacher who joins a Revival and falls head over heals with the leader of the revival. This song is inspired by that

Lyrics

I saw you at the midnight revival
That circus smelt like canvas and polyvinyl
You were waiving around an NKJ Bible
But you were on fire with the spirit of the Lord

I used to love my drinking
but now I'm drunk with love
You're the strongest spirit
that I know of

I don't know who I'm fooling
but I know that you're no fool
I wanna tear off your wings
let my spirit move you

I'm the wrong man
At the right time
to Love you

I'm the wrong man
but come with me
tonight

I'll give up my whiskey
I'll give up my sin
come with me
let our lives begin, tonight

I like the staccato piano backing for your gentle vocals. Wonderful use of concise lines and I love the hook and how well you develop it. Lovely gentle vocals.

I haven't seen this film, but your telling of the story is very clear and evocative. So sweet and enjoyable. Thank you.

Great film and a quirky way to respond to the prompt, I like it! "I want to tear off your angel wings / let my spirit move you" is a darkly comic twist. Nice write! 😊
