Missionary Lyrics
The bells ring out above my room
And announcement of our loss
And in the act, three men decide
An indefinite epilogueMy letters have all gone
A journey that's unsure
A message that was rich
A hand that was poorOh, have me, breath and let me go
Cause I don't want you to know
Cause I don't want you to know
Oh, I don't want you, want you, want youMy own description may have failed
Torn from pictures that were saved
Along with images from words
That were saved and not erasedThe shelves arranged above my head
A memory of my fears
Blankets hold the smell of life
And soak the many yearsOh, have me, breath and let me go
Cause I don't want you to know
Cause I don't want you to know
Oh, I don't want you, want you, want youOh, missionary are you hereSun doesn't burn when the water comes
But water doesn't come like the English rain
They bury their heads for self defense
A marked improvement through diligenceWe are alone against our sins
Alone against our sins
Alone against our sinsVacant rooms that are full of men
That sit on the stools awaiting time
Discussion leads to little sense
They bury their heads for self defenseWe are alone against our sins
Alone against our sins
Alone against our sins
