Mobile |
| Jonah went down to the docks to flee from the wrath of the Lord |
| But the mark on his forehead was visible to everybody on board |
| They threw him down into the water but he did not drown |
| I’m on a balcony in Mobile, Alabama, waiting for the wind to throw me down |
| Now the Lord told the great fish, be free of your burden |
| And Jonah emerged from his darkness like a dancer crashing through the curtain |
| And the plant grew but it withered and it shriveled up and turned brown |
| I’m on a balcony in Mobile, Alabama, waiting for the wind to throw me down |
| Lord, if you won’t keep me safe and warm |
| Then send down the storm |
| Send down the storm |
| Jonah was sure he heard voices, maybe just one voice but real clear |
| And where he went, the voice followed, sometimes hardly loud enough to hear |
| «Shall I not spare the wise with the wicked? |
| Hold back my wrath from this town?» |
| I’m on a balcony in Mobile, Alabama, waiting for the wind to throw me down |
| May I address the foreman of the jury? |
| Why do you hold back your fury? |
| Don’t hold back your fury |
