On a bus ride into town I wondered why am I going to town I looked around at the billboards And the stories I thought Why do I look around So I got out and I bowed And kissed the filthy ground The first dry spot I found I laid down without having to wonder Why I was laying down Before long I was too cold And so took a bus back to the station I found a letter left by a pay phone With 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 attempt I'd ever seen at conversation If I didn't have You as my guide I'd still wander lost in Sinai Counting the plates Of cars from out of state How I could jump in their path They hurry along Until You surround me You're pretty but you're 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 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 The things I should remember And a hard time forgetting The things I should forget Oh Christ when You're ready to come back 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
