Mewithoutyou Carousels Lyrics

Oh Christ when You're ready to come back,
the things I should forget.
and a hard time forgetting
the things i should remember
yet I have a hard time remembering
and there's no sign of it
But it's already the 19th
through the first week of September
St. Cyril's fair always came
grave of a body for so long.
I would never have laid in this
If there was no way into God
Like a thick fog -
You're pretty but you're all I can see
Until You surround me,
they hurry along!)
(How I could jump in their path
of cars from out-of-state,
Counting the plates
I'd still wander lost in Sinai
If I didn't have You as my guide,
I'd ever seen at conversation
It was the shyest attempt
"Bunny, it was me who let you down"
It read like a horn blown by some sad angel.
To total strangers,
It was addressed:
with no return contact.
I found a letter left by a pay phone
and so took a bus back to the station
Before long I was too cold
why I was laying down.
I didn't have to wonder
The first dry spot I found
and I kissed the filthy ground
So I got out and I bowed
"Why do I look around?"
I thought,
at the billboards and the stores
Cause I looked around
"why am I going to town?"
I wondered out loud
On a bus ride into town
And 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.
