Aaron Weiss - Carousels Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
