lyrics

I guess I went blind
there in the early morning light
Stand up straight
you are starting to slump
we only have so much time
It is time to buckle up
time to tie your shoes
or we will be here all day

I walked down a side street
it opened up and there was a Cathedral
in the middle of a square
I was old world touched
and this is old world too

Here comes the sun again
Oh it is that part of the day
We were out by the office buildings
way on the other side of the lake
You have time I know
enough time to ask for directions

This might get better
but on the other hand no one will know
You had some kind of awkward body language
I don't know what you are trying to say
you stare at your phone
and let yourself drift away

Oh move your eyes up to my face
and just look out at the city
It is hard to be here
and somewhere else
all at once

The flies just stay inside the restaurant
but you do not
you are lying on the floor
just trying to get attention
in front of us
the city just takes it's time
in front of us
all these people

Here comes the light
down the side street
bouncing off windows
here comes the light
it just makes it inside
just in time
just in time

Lewis the Light San Francisco, California

"Satisfied with his care and the width of his belly, Lewis escaped and returned to San Francisco, where he was arrested after ripping open his clothing and asking passersbys to witness the divine light that burned in his breast."
