Our house wrapped in disrepair,
|
||
|
|
A small mouse peeked out from a hole beneath the stairs
|
||
|
|
nearby to where my dad sat in his favorite chair,
|
||
|
|
Thinking about the gov't and muttering a prayer
|
||
|
|
I scattered some oats in hopes she'd stay
|
||
|
|
And sat still to stop from scaring her away-
|
||
|
|
But she hurried on her little way
|
||
|
|
And scurried around my mind
|
||
|
|
Ever since,
|
||
|
|
Every day
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Open wide my door, my door, my Lord
|
||
|
|
(Open wide my door)
|
||
|
|
To whatever makes me love You more
|
||
|
|
(Open wide my door)
|
||
|
|
While there's still light to run towards
|
||
|
|
(Open wide my door)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Like water on dry wood
|
||
|
|
Equal parts misguided and misunderstood
|
||
|
|
But all the neighborhood
|
||
|
|
Watched a fire burn from where they stood
|
||
|
|
And the smoke said
|
||
|
|
"We're not half as bad as G-d is good"
|
||
|
|
And there's a whisper in my ear,
|
||
|
|
The voice of loneliness and fear, so I say:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"Devil, disappear!
|
||
|
|
I'm still (ehh... technically...) a virgin
|
||
|
|
After 27 years-
|
||
|
|
Which never bothered me before,
|
||
|
|
What's maybe 50 more?"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Open wide my door, my door, my Lord
|
||
|
|
(Open wide my door)
|
||
|
|
To whatever makes me love You more
|
||
|
|
(Open wide my door)
|
||
|
|
While there's still light to run towards
|
||
|
|
(Open wide my door)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
She came back for the oats
|
||
|
|
But she brought along a "friend"
|
||
|
|
(This never ends)(This never ends)
|
||
|
|
The harder the rain,
|
||
|
|
The lower the flowers in the garden bend
|
||
|
|
(This never ends)(This never ends)
|
||
|
|
I'd rather never talk again
|
||
|
|
Than to continue to pretend
|
||
|
|
This never ends (This never ends)(This never ends)
