Carousels Lyrics - Singles - Me Without You

On a bus ride into town 

I wondered out loud, "Why am I going to town?" 

And as I looked around 

At the billboards and the stores 

I thought, "Why do I look around?" 

And I kissed the filthy ground 

First dry spot I found 

And I didn't have to wonder why I was laying down 

Before long I was too cold 

Took a bus back to the station 

I found a letter left by a pay phone 

With no return contact 

And it read like a horn blown by some sad angel 

"Bunny, it was me, it was me who let you down" 

It was the shyest attempt I'd ever seen at conversation 

If I didn't have you as my guide 

I'd still wander lost in Sinai 

Counting the plates of cars from out-of-state 

(How I could jump in their path as they hurry along) 

You surround me 

You're pretty but you're all I can see like a thick fog 

If there was no way into God 

I would never have laid in this grave of a body for so long 

And Bonner fair always came through 

The first week of September 

But it's already the 19th 

And there's no sign of it 

Yet, I have a hard time 

Remembering all the things that I should remember 

And a hard time 

Forgetting the all things that I am supposed to forget 

Oh Christ, when You're ready to come back 

And I think I'm ready for You to come back 

But if You want to stay wherever exactly it is You are 

That's okay too, it's really none of my business 

If I didn't have You as my guide 

I'd still be wandering lost in Sinai 

Or down by the tracks watching trains go by to remind me 

There are places that aren't here 

I had a well but all the water left 

So I'll ask Your forgiveness with every breath 

If there was no way into God 

I would never have laid in this grave of a body for so long, dear
