Letter To A New Lover

Baby I'm as bleak as I am lonely,
Baby I'm as weak as I am holy,
and I don't know
where I'm going to.

Baby I'm a priest and I'm scholar,
Baby I show religion on my collar,
I gotta know
where I'm coming from.

Baby I'll show you youthful indiscretion,
Baby I'll pay you a hundred dollars a session,
if you will go
where I'm going, too.

Baby I'm afraid that I'm not worthy,
Baby I'm ashamed and I feel so dirty,
I wish I could know
What I'm running from.

Baby I'm a stranger at the station,
Baby I can't stay in one location,
and you should know,
I'm just blowing through.

Baby I'm a liar and a prophet,
Baby I got the dead sea scrolls in my pocket,
you gotta know
where I'm coming from.

Baby I will give you all that I can,
Baby don't expect much but I'm your man,
I wanna go
where you're going to.

Baby I'm an angel in disguise,
Baby I'm the sunlight burning your eyes,
how can you know
where I'm coming from?

Baby I'm as bleak as I am lonely,
Baby I'm as weak as I am holy,
I still don't know
where I'm going to.
