Mysterious Tunnel Lyrics - Singles - Chesnutt Vic

(Vic Chesnutt) 

I just never could say, "good bye" or "adieu" 

ooh, but the years, they have been so kind to you 

there's some skills that I have learned to do 

and I would certainly like to share them with you 

you're outside hanging wet linen 

and I am giving a Van Dyke listening 

if you need a little help stretching the canvas 

if you need a shaky ride to Lawrence, Kansas 

if you need a little help hauling that big, fat sack 

I'll be sitting right here beside my stone age fax machine 

you're up there amongst the mountains 

and I am drinking from a nasty water fountain 

I just never could lay a bead on you 

I took a sad envelope of seed from you 

I just never could get something to take root 

one just never can tell about the growth shoot 

I am crouched with a weak shovel 

and you are tending the mysterious tunnel
