| Like swinging your arms in the dark to find out how the light sits
|
| And stepping on roads like the legs of the friends that decided to stay in
|
| And cursing real soft to yourself and to me how am i going to get to bed
|
| And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
|
| We can press our hands til the fire reaches our front door
|
| So i will keep this light lit low for you
|
| When you stop your feet from running tired
|
| Oh don’t leave me god take me home
|
| Oh don’t leave me god take me home
|
| We march in philistine synchronise back and forth
|
| Saying I am waiting, I am waiting till my promise comes
|
| Don’t keep your mouth open so when you lay out on the floor
|
| The water will fill up your throat when it falls from the firmiment
|
| But bending again over rails with your friends only drowns out the helpfull
|
| noise
|
| I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
|
| How long how long how long how long how long
|
| So i will shake the boughs till you come down
|
| Sending the birds into the airs like black fire up against the sun
|
| Oh don’t leave me god take me home
|
| Oh don’t leave me god take me home
|
| Comes and it comes in the form of the voice he knows
|
| Singing oh I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
|
| Someone has said in a song we could saw off that pearly gate
|
| So that sooner than crying the most tired wings could shake themselves awake
|
| That kind of talk only leads us to thinking a circle on the lawn
|
| Where only the leaves and seeds and the grass will blow
|
| Singing oh I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
|
| So i will sing and soothe with your head laid low
|
| Cause in your sleep i heard you crying out
|
| Oh don’t leave me god take me home
|
| Oh don’t leave me god take me home
|
| When i first saw it i still don’t think i knew
|
| So i’m just waiting, i’m waiting till my promise comes |
