My Exit, Unfair

Lyrics for My Exit, Unfair

My exit, unobserved, my homesickness, absurd I said "water," expecting the word Would satisfy my thirst! Talking all about the second and third When I haven't understood the first. Jonah, where's that boat going - Your ship set with eager sails? There's a swirling storm soon blowing And no use, fishermen, in rowing from a consecrated whale! And just like the clouds they bring a darkness and a hard rain's gonna fall I felt the crowds bring a loneliness and a hard rain's gonna fall. She always weighed me down But, afraid I might need her, I dragged her around (It's best to keep close sackcloth and ash in a whitewashed town) She wore that phony smile on her face, I guess like a bandage on a wounded place While I kept the keys to every old lock just in case. Rehearsed indifference tossed aside, Our narrow arms spread wide, "What unseen pen etched eternal things on the hearts of humankind - But never let them in our minds?" The clouds they brught a darkness And a hard rain's gonna fall And all my laughter ends in emptiness And a hard rain's gonna fall. My every medicine causes more illness And a hard rain's gonna fall And until I let you go I didn't know, you were never mine at all But now I spend my days in ever-increasingly complicated ways Convincing myself of the rightness of each word I say My exit, unfair if unobserved! My exit, unfair if unobserved! Ya sabur, subhannallahi, a-uduhu billah minash-shaitnair-rajim, al-hamdu lillah, bismillahir rahmanir rahim.
