In Brief Visitation

Lyrics

[John 21:25, Luke 24:12] I still need someone to love: Someone outrageous, someone to make me laugh Someone who fell from above To channel my hopes and write me an autograph Here on my heart, engraved dedication The fall guy was here, in brief visitation I still need someone to love In brief visitation, the fall guy was here Dangerous affections sublime Smother objections with infinite kindness passed Between us, a steadying sail Never to flutter, never to break the mast Write on my heart, engraved dedication The fall guy was here, in brief visitation Dangerous affections sublime In brief visitation, the fall guy was here They still need someone to hate To brand with harsh accusations, to scare The many and even the few Who flock to the party but turn from the glare When caught in the headlights and taken to task: Cowardly persuasion behind the life mask They still need someone to hate In brief visitation, the fall guy was here
