Old Jerusalem Lyrics - Will Oldham

Trouble has caused me so much grief 

I am waiting for when I can go home 

Time when a room was closer than my friends 

And I can get some shooting done 

But then I hear a footstep on the stairs 

The whole thing shatters and I scream out your name 

And you come running 

O it is always the same 

Time passes and the room goes dark 

I expect to see your figure standing naked over me 

With a mole on your neck and a wry way of holding 

Wide the ceiling of my darkened path 

Then we mingle our limbs, I hear all calling 

When we swim and we buckle, and I emote 

It is the only time to catch it so 

So we may as well rest, and let it go
