You Standing There

Jandek · Other Songs - Jandek

When the sinner wakes

The priests are piling in the hay

A little song sung away

Guess who's been after you

Guess who's before you

Season turning, looks like when

We'll be coming back again

We'll be coming back again

Light has come remembering

You standing there in that thing



Busted out again until the dawn

Comes creeping across the meadow lawn

And time and space around you are gone

You're looking into blackest night

Your fortune, love, has not gone away

It's here to stay
