The angel Moroni asleep in the carport With the newspaper under his arm It seems I was late to deliver his car keys So it looks like we are staying behind Was Lucifer bashful In hiding his face from the Lord Dear Jesus, forgive me I am only doing as I was told For as it is written I will soon one day face my own fire And this world will go with me If I can just get them all on my side Carry me over rainbows and Rainier Carry me over rainbows and Rainier I was late to the parlor When the wind it blew forward And demanded we get out of town So me and Moroni Took the keys to the steeple And awaited Armageddon to go down Place your queens on the table Who are weeping for your daughters Who are waiting for their someday to return Every heart will be broken Prophetic poems spoken From the mouths of every baby to be born Carry me over rainbows and Rainier Carry me over rainbows and Rainier Let your cries be of joy May it always and forever fill the void And allow my heart some room May it be so that you'll one day need me soon With my wheels in a turning And my back to the window I collected every wave from the shore I forgot I was human As I laid up my emotions And I knocked them like dishes to the floor Carry me over rainbows and Rainier Carry me over rainbows and Rainier
