Carousels-MeWithoutYou

Album by: Catch For Us The Foxes Artist by: Mewithoutyou On a bus ride into town I wondered ＂why am I going to town?＂ I looked around at the billboards And the stories i thought, ＂Why do I look around?＂ So I got out and I bowed And kissed the filthy ground The first dry spot I found I laid down without having to wonder Why i was laying down. Before long I was too cold And so took a bus back to the station I found a letter left by a pay phone With no return contact information. It was addressed: To total strangers, It read like a horn blown by some sad angel. ＂Bunny, it was me who let you down＂ It was the shyest attempt I＇d ever seen at conversation 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 They hurry along!) Until 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. 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 The things i should remember And a hard time forgetting The things i should forget. Oh Christ when You＇re ready to come back, I think I＇m ready for You to come back But if You want to stay Wherever exactly it is you are, That＇s ok too - It＇s really none of my business If I didn＇t have You as my guide I＇d still be wandering lost in Sinai Or down by the tracks Watching trains go by to remind me. There are places that aren＇t here. I had a well, But all the water left So i＇ll ask Your forgiveness With every breath, If there was no way into God, I would never have laid in this Body of a grave...so long, dear.
