Richard Shindell - Gethsemani Goodbye lyrics
[Richard Shindell - Gethsemani Goodbye lyrics]
I remember everything how I went too far
How I lost my way out on Bardstown Road
How I drove around in circles
Til the morning slipped away
Then headed back to Louisville
And kissed Gethsemani goodbye
All you really wanted
Was to go see Merton's shed
To stroll around the garden
To pray beside his grave
But, I refused to ask directions
Just kept on driving like a fool
And when the interstate appeared
We kissed Gethsemani goodbye
It's just straight out 31
Broadway becomes Main how I missed that turn
I will never know
I remember everything how I went too far
How I lost my way out on Bardstown Road
The friend you always needed
Would've kept our morning plan
But, I drove us back to Louisville
And kissed Gethsemani goodbye
How I lost my way out on Bardstown Road
How I drove around in circles
Til the morning slipped away
Then headed back to Louisville
And kissed Gethsemani goodbye
All you really wanted
Was to go see Merton's shed
To stroll around the garden
To pray beside his grave
But, I refused to ask directions
Just kept on driving like a fool
And when the interstate appeared
We kissed Gethsemani goodbye
It's just straight out 31
Broadway becomes Main how I missed that turn
I will never know
I remember everything how I went too far
How I lost my way out on Bardstown Road
The friend you always needed
Would've kept our morning plan
But, I drove us back to Louisville
And kissed Gethsemani goodbye
