Mewithoutyou - Carousels Lyrics
On a bus ride into townI wondered "why am I going to town?"I looked around at the billboardsand the stories I thought,"Why do I look around?"So I got out and I bowedand kissed the filthy groundThe first dry spot I foundI laid down without having to wonderwhy I was laying down.Before long I was too coldand so took a bus back to the stationI found a letter left by a pay phonewith 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 attemptI'd ever seen at conversationIf I didn't have You as my guide,I'd still wander lost in SinaiCounting the platesof cars from out-of-state,(How I could jump in their paththey hurry along!)Until You surround me,You're pretty but you're all I can seeLike a thick fog -If there was no way into GodI would never have laid in thisgrave of a body for so long.St. Cyril's fair always camethrough the first week of SeptemberBut it's already the 19thand there's no sign of it yet.I have a hard time rememberingthe things i should rememberand a hard time forgettingthe things I should forget.Oh Christ when You're ready to come back,I think I'm ready for You to come backBut if You want to stayWherever exactly it is you are,That's ok too -It's really none of my businessIf I didn't have You as my guideI'd still be wandering lost in SinaiOr down by the trackswatching trains go by to remind me.There are places that aren't here.I had a well,But all the water leftSo i'll ask Your forgivenessWith every breath,If there was no way into God,I would never have laid in thisbody of a grave...so long, dear.
