[MewithoutYou - Carousels lyrics]
On a bus ride into town (Jesus remember me)
I wondered out loud
(When you come to Your Kingdom)
"Why am I going to town?" as I looked around
(Jesus remember me)
At the billboards and the stores
(When you come)
And I thought, "Why do I look around?
(Jesus remember me)
And I kissed the filthy ground
(When you come to Your Kingdom)
The first dry spot I found
(Jesus remember me) i didn't have to wonder
(When you come) 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
And 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 are 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
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 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
If there was no way into God
I would never have laid in
This grave of a body so long, dear
I wondered out loud
(When you come to Your Kingdom)
"Why am I going to town?" as I looked around
(Jesus remember me)
At the billboards and the stores
(When you come)
And I thought, "Why do I look around?
(Jesus remember me)
And I kissed the filthy ground
(When you come to Your Kingdom)
The first dry spot I found
(Jesus remember me) i didn't have to wonder
(When you come) 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
And 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 are all I can see
