My Exit, Unfair Lyrics - Me Without You

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 a consecrated whale 

And just like the clouds they bring a darkness 

And a hard rain's gonna fall 

I felt the crowds bring a loneliness 

And a hard rain, a hard rain's gonna fall 

And she always weighed 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 

And 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 humankind 

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-Uduhu billah minash-shaitnair-rajim 

Al-Hamdu Lillah, Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
