Mysterious Tunnel Lyrics - Vic Chesnutt

I just never could say, 'Good bye' or 'Adieu' 

Ooh but the years, they have been so kind to you 

There's some skills that I have learned to do 

And I would certainly like to share them with you 

You're outside hangin' wet linen 

And I am givin' a Vandyke listening 

If you need a little help stretchin' the canvas 

If you need a shaky ride to Lawrence, Kansas 

If you need a little help haulin' that big fat sack 

I'll be sittin' right here beside my stone age fax machine 

You're up there amongst the mountains 

And I am drinkin' from a nasty water fountain 

I just never could lay a bead on you 

I took a sad envelope of seed from you 

I just never could get something to take root 

One just never can tell about the growth shoot
