Your Visitor

Jandek · Other Songs - Jandek

The wine in the evening

Takes me down all the lanes

And the places I've been

You love me, I love you, I know

But you're on the way to some star

So I stop and I look for the light

And the memories and the creation

Of all the days that unfold

But to (?) keep on going to the last place I'll be

I'm where you are waiting

And I won't take so long

So now it's so certain

And then it's alright

And the days go along so smoothly

And the nights fade into each other

You've got all the kinds of every love

And your visitor lasts so long

So listen and find me if you can

I'll be all around your loneliness
