A Quietly Disappearing Slow Dance

Song w/o Music 3

I'm just as dry as I can be

and run right out of happiness

The signals that you're sending

are of shipwreck and distress

I swear your midnight Hoodoo

has crept into the day

and makes it hard and all the harder

for me to stay.

If there was a bus

I'd take it

If there was a train

I'd get on board

But there's nothing here but us

and the absence of the Lord.

We used to live in some place safe

where God's creatures had a chance

And where every invitation

didn't lead to the last dance

It wasn't paradise, I know

still we acted like it was

and you took me disappearing

down your back roads.

Now all that's come tumbling down

we're caught in misery and strife

And I'd sell off everything I own

to buy a different kind of life

and if there was a bus

I'd take it

If there was a train

I'd get on board

But there's nothing here but us

and the absence of the Lord,

the absence of the Lord.
