Old Jerusalem

Will Oldham

    Continues after the ad

    Trouble has caused me so much grief
    I am waiting for when I can go home
    Time when a room was closer than my friends
    And I can get some shooting done

    But then I hear a footstep on the stairs
    The whole thing shatters and I scream out your name
    And you come running
    O it is always the same

    Continues after the ad

    Time passes and the room goes dark
    I expect to see your figure standing naked over me
    With a mole on your neck and a wry way of holding
    Wide the ceiling of my darkened path

    Then we mingle our limbs, I hear all calling
    When we swim and we buckle, and I emote
    It is the only time to catch it so
    So we may as well rest, and let it go

    We're gonna be rejoined
    And the children will love it
    All my brothers and my sisters resting holy above it
    Let us wallow, let us play, this is our god's day
    Let us wallow, let us play, this is our god's day
