That ain’t a parachute
|
That ain’t a rip cord
|
That ain’t a body of water
|
We’re headed for
|
There’s so little time left
|
So much to be done
|
Even you are gonna need someone
|
That ain’t a trick of light
|
Or the morning haze
|
Coming in from the lake
|
Getting into your eyes
|
It’s the invisible breath
|
Of a storm on the rise
|
That I feel whenever you arrive
|
|
Now I may not be quick
|
Maybe never was
|
But tell me what the hell it is
|
That you’ve become
|
|
Baby if you never got sick
|
I wouldn’t get to hold you
|
Baby if you never got sick
|
I would never get to hold you
|
|
This ain’t a righteous love
|
Even a good one
|
These ain’t the kinds of return
|
That I was thinking of
|
I’m unbearable now
|
You ain’t seen nothing yet
|
You’ll se me dead
|
Before you see me quit
|
That ain’t a jug of wine
|
That you’ve been drinking from
|
Now lay back now baby
|
Let your fever come
|
I will bury you in
|
Just to dig you out
|
I haven’t a use
|
For being proud
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
I followed you deep into a barren field
|
There was someone you were running from
|
When I needed to sleep
|
That’s when you disappeared
|
But I did get the impossible done
|
Now I always knew
|
There was God inside you
|
I just never did learn which one
|
|
[chorus]
