[Verse 1]
Today a thousand years
Of strained affection and prayer
"Out beyond ideas of right & wrong is a field"
Will I meet you there?
Will I meet you there?
The summer garden blooms
With autumn soon replaced
Another harvest moon—
So many ways to lose
So many faiths
[Chorus]
"Holy to the LORD" on the bells of horses
Safely on the shore we sank like stones
To the bottom of a made up ocean
[Verse 2]
Standing on the lake shore, Julia
Silent as a seashell, Julia
Magnet of the elk park, Julia
Laid down on the temple floor
"Send a couple rats," said Julia
I'd have done the same thing to you
Coffee and a milk, now Julia
Who do you think needs who more?
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
In case your plan falls through
To mispronounce my name
(Static between me and that Salafi, Yusef)
To curse You-Don't-Know-Who
And bow before the same
(So was the scene at al-Aqsa.)
I'll meet you there
(I have to admit I loved the cut of his pant legs!)
I'll meet you there
(Another lovely afternoon for Sūrat al-Kāfirūn)
[Chorus]
"Holy to the LORD" on the bells of horses
Safely on the shore we sank like stones
To the bottom of a made up ocean

All of mewithoutYou’s songs have deep religious imagery and symbolism, yes. To call them “religious songs” may be a small stretch, but religion is ever present in the writing. And even religious writing isn’t always nice.
