Sit Down

I am not a leader, father, father
I can't see the marker through all of the weeds, you fell
And I know you need her, or you'll falter
But I can't be your shelter, I can't be your breed, oh well

When you need a sit-down in the middle
Of a bed of briar, I'll sit down with you
I never thought of you as something little
Not impermanent, or something I could lose

I didn't really wanna wait for you
When your body seized up in the wild
There weren't a lot of things I wouldn't do
In the name of the man of the child, but it's all different now, wow

Supеrhuman silence, one anothеr
Did you bring me here to bury me alive? I fell
In my private violence, naming martyrs
Saint Paul the apostle, The Baptist Saint John, oh well

If you can't just meet me in the middle
Bring a helicopter to haul off my bones
It's okay to hate it just a little
Sit with me a minute, don't leave me alone

You didn't really wanna wait for me
When my body seized up in the wild
There's only so many things I can be
In the name of the man of the child, yeah, it's all different now, wow

I guess I hope that you will wait for me
Give me time to remember your sounds
They're already slipping out of my mouth
And they will 'til we meet for our last, for our last sit down, oh

Sit down, oh
