Number 41

Come and see
I swear by now
I'm playing time against my troubles, oh
Oh, I'm coming slow but speeding
Do you wish a dance?
And while I'm in the front
The play on time is won
Oh, but the difficulty's coming here
I will go in this way
And find my own way out
I won't tell you to be here
But it's coming to much more
Me
Come down like ghosts come back
Reeling in you now
Oh, what if they came down crushing?
In a way
I used to play for all of the loneliness that nobody notices now
Oh, begging slow
I'm coming here, yeah yeah
Only waiting
I wanted to stay
I wanted to play
I wanted to love you
I'm only this far
And only tomorrow leads the way
I'm coming waltzing back and moving into your head
Please
I wouldn't pass this by
Oh I wouldn't take any more than
What sort of man goes by?
I will bring water
Why won't you ever be glad?
It melts into wonder
I came in praying for you
Why won't you run into rain and pray
And let tears splash all over you?
