Tekst Utworu

He had an afternoon, nothing on his list
A friend said while you're there, there's a church up on the hill
Bring me back some water, the holy kind they keep
He figured there's a gift shop — he'd grab it on the cheap
I didn't know the names
I didn't know the call
He climbed up like a tourist, the camera and all
Did what the others did — crossed where they crossed
Bowed his head where they hid their faces in their hands
He thought that it was theater, he thought that it was lost
Nobody told him this was something you could feel
He thought the script was empty
He thought none of it was real
Lord, have mercy
He came to buy a souvenir
He didn't come to know
The marble worn to glass
By a thousand years of palms below
And something he had not asked for
Lifted up its head
He came to buy a souvenir
He came back slow instead
Some old myrrh-streamer, they say, is lying there
A lamp he couldn't read, a fragrance he'd not bought
He was only being polite
And then the polite came apart
I thought that I was acting
I thought I'd never know
The water was free, in the end
They don't sell it at the door
He carried out a little jar
And a great deal more
He went up for an errand
He came down someone's own
Lord, have mercy
He came to buy a souvenir
He didn't come to know
The saint had no appointment
And he was not alone
He went up for a souvenir
And he didn't come back whole, he came back slow
Rejoice, O Bride unwedded... Rejoice, O Bride unwedded
