Muddy Hymnal Lyrics

Cover art for Muddy Hymnal lyrics by Iron & Wine

i think it's about a man that's lost his wife and loses his faith in god. he leaves his kids at the pub and goes to vandalise the church. the policeman finds him asleep at his wife's grave. his wife, now an angel, tells the policeman that "it never ends the way we had it planned." but she's still watching over him.
