Lyrics
(Sound of a phone ringing once, then voicemail tone)
The optics are wiped on the bar at The Bell Jar
And the rain's doing its usual greetin' on the glass.
It's Tuesday, I think. Past closing. Just me and the hum of the cooler.
I know this is... mad. But I had to make the call.
[Chorus]
'Cause in my head I gave a sermon, every line was true.
Every hymn I ever knew, I sang it just for you.
It was holy, it was perfect, the gospel of me and you.
[Verse 2]
Remember that night under the Heilanman's Umbrella,
the whole world a blur of reflected double-yellows.
You said, "It's only water, Kerr, it's no gonna kill ya."
And right then, I nearly opened the floodgates for you.
[Chorus]
But in my head I gave a sermon, every line was true.
Every hymn I ever knew, I sang it just for you.
It was holy, it was perfect, the gospel of me and you.
[Bridge]
And I know it's years. I know this number's probably changed.
But some truths stay the same, they just get rearranged.
[Outro]
(Music strips to just a lone, warm Wurlitzer and vocal)
Anyway. I just... I thought you should know.
(Sound of a click as the call ends, Wurlitzer fades)
