Hymn #101 - Revisted

Lyrics

And I've come to know the wishlist of my father I've come to know the shipwrecks where he wished I've come to wish aloud, among the overdressed crowd Come to witness now the sinking of the ship Throwing pennies from the seatop next to it And I've come to roam the forest past the village With a dozen lazy horses in my cart I've come here to get high, to do more than just get by I'vе come to test the timbrе of my heart Oh, I've come to test the timbre of my heart And I have come to be untroubled in my seeking And I have come to see that nothing is for naught I've come to reach out blind, to reach forward and behind For the more I seek, the more I'm sought Yeah, the more I seek the more I'm sought And I've come to meet the sheriff and his posse To offer him the broadside of my jaw I have come here to get broke and then maybe bum a smoke We'll go drinking two towns over after all We'll go drinking two towns over after all And I've come to meet the legendary takers I've only come to ask them for a lot They say I've come with less than I should rightfully possess I say the more I buy, the more I'm bought And the more I'm bought, the less I cost And I have come to take their servants and their surplus And I have come to take their raincoats and their speed I've come to get my fill, to ransack and spill I've come to trade the harvest for the seed Oh, I've come to trade the harvest for the seed And I've come to know the manger that you sleep in I have come to be the stranger that you keep I've come from down the road and my footsteps never slowed Before we met, I knew we'd meet Oh, before we met, I knew we'd meet And I've come here to ignore your cries and heartaches I've come to closely listen to you sing I've come here to insist, that I leave here with a kiss I've come to say exactly what I mean And I mean so many things And you've come to know me stubborn as a butcher And you've come to know me thankless as a guest But will you recognize my face when god's awful grace Strips me of my jacket and my vest And reveals all the treasure in my chest
