John Davey - Mendota lyrics

Artist: John Davey

album: Living Is Trying


I tripped up
So much for my luck
All around the capitol
My arms were bare
When I showed you where
I got hurt and had my fill
Still, I followed you
Down the corridor
Past the gateway to
The secret garden
All the springs turn to rivers
And run into the sea
Just like the vision
Of me runnin' from me
You loved me with hands
That were fierce
And I still had a thousand fears
But we both had hands
And so we held them
And the fire in you never died
Much of what I did was so contrived
In the context of three hundred
Cold miles
Still, I walked with you parallel
To the stone wall
Outside your window
As Lake Mendota
Laps at the eager shore
So you leaned up against me
And the tangled web
Behind the whipping shed
Had to be pushed back
With vicious swipes
Thought I was steady as a rock
And as clever as a fox
Still, you crush me up
And blind my eyes
And it was crystal clear
What you were doing here
To make me fold my arms
Lay down and die
Still, I'm looking up
Toward thirsty skies
I am searching eager skies
I am searching eager skies
