Carousels
(专辑: Catch For Us The Foxes - 2004)
On a
bus ride into town, I
wondered out loud, "Why am I
going to town?" As I
looked around at the
billboards and the
stores I
thought, "Why do I
look around?" And I
kissed the
filthy ground... the
first dry spot I
found... I
didn't have to wonder why I
was laying down. Before long I
was too cold... took a
bus back to the
station, I
found a
letter left by a
pay phone with no return contact And it read like a
horn blown by some sad angel, "Bunny, it was me... it was me who let you down" It was the
shyest attempt I'd ever seen at conversation. But if I
didn't have You as my guide, I'd still wander lost in Sinai, Counting the
plates of cars from out-of-state, How I
could jump in their path as they hurry along! And You surround me, You're pretty but You're all I
can see Like a
thick fog... If there was no way into God, I
would never have laid in this grave of a
body for so long. And St. Cyril's fair always came through the
first week of September But it's already the
19th... and there's no sign of it... Yet I
have a
hard time remembering all the
things I
should remember And a
hard time forgetting all the
things that I
was supposed to forget. And, Christ, when You're ready to come back, Then I
think I'm ready for You to come back; But if You want to stay wherever exactly it is You are, That's okay, too... it's, it's really none of my business. And if I
didn't have You as my guide, I'd still wander lost in Sinai Or down by the
tracks watching trains go by To remind me: there are places that aren't here. And I
had a
well but all the
water left, So I'll go ask Your forgiveness with every breath, And if there was no way into God, I
would never have laid in this grave of a
body... so long, dear.
