My Exit Unfair lyrics

My exit unobserved,
And my homesickness absurd...
I said `water` expecting the Word would satisfy my thirst,
Talking all about the second and third
When I haven`t understood the first.

Jonah, where`s that boat going...your ship set with eager sails?
There`s a swirling storm soon blowing, and no use, fishermen,
In rowing from the consecrated whale!

And just like the clouds, they bring a darkness and a hard rain`s gonna fall,
I felt the crowd bring a loneliness and a hard rain, a hard rain`s gonna fall.

And she`d always weight me down,
But, afraid I might need her, I dragged her around,
It`s best to keep close sackcloth and ash in a whitewashed town;
She wore that phony smile on her face,
I guess like a bandage on a wounded place,
While I kept the keys to every old lock just in case.

Rehearsed indifference tossed aside,
Our narrow arms spread wide,
`What unseen pen etched eternal things on the hearts of human kind...
But never let them in our minds?`

Oh, the clouds they brought a darkness and a hard rain`s gonna fall,
And all my laughter ends in emptiness and a hard rain`s gonna fall.
My every medicine causes more illness and a hard rain`s gonna fall,
And until I let you go I didn`t know, you were never mine...
You were never mine at all.

But now I spend my days in ever-increasingly complicated ways,
Convincing myself of the rightness of each word I say.
My exit, unfair if unobserved!
My exit, unfair if unobserved!
My exit, unfair...
Ya sabur, subhannallahi, a`udhu billahi minash-shaitanir-rajim,
al-hamdu lilllah, bismillahir rahmanir rahim.
