Show Me

"... an existential love
song."
I been lost and I been lookin’
For some kinda sign
Might be just around the bend
Or maybe way down the line,
way down the line.
I got off the main road somewhere
Can’t seem to find my way back
Maybe you could show me,
you could show me
You could show me the way.
Used to have a friend in Jesus
He left me out in the cold
Then I had that brush with Buddha
When I was twenty-one years old,
twenty-one years old.
I’m not tryin’to save the world
Just what’s left of my soul
You could show me, you could show me
You could show me the way.
I sat down by the laughing river
Just to rest my bones
I was weary, I was hungry
And such a long way from home.
I looked down, saw your face in the water
Reaching out your hand I heard you say
You could show me, you could show me
You could show me the way.
