The Sing - Bill Callahan
Drinking while sleeping strangers

Unknowingly keep me company

the In hotel bar

Looking out a window that isn't there

Looking at carpet and chairs

Well the only words I said today are "beer" and "thank you"

Beer, thank you

Beer, thank you

Beer

Giving praise in a quiet way

Like a church

Like a church

Like a church ’s thatfar away

I've got limitations like Marvin Gaye

Mortal joy is that way

Outside a train sings its whale song

To a long long train long long gone

Then silence comes back alone

High as scaffolding

'Til the wind finds something to ping

the When pinging things finds the wind

We're all looking for a body

Or a means to make one sing
