lyrics

I see St. Paul walking the south coast
Do I see Timothy close behind?
Or just a comforting figment of my mind?

The whole world calls this place Athenstown
They call it wise and picturesque
Out past the shoreline I see a shipwreck

My thoughts and feet are turning Northward
St. Paul and friends are heading West
They left a package at my door, prayed for the best

Tore out the tape and packing peanuts
Gave one good look and had to sigh
Not in despair but like a rider on a redeye flight

I tucked it in my pocket and rode off in the Sun
King Alexander pointed me to station one
But then St. Timothy took me by the wrist
and took me to the fork so many times I’d missed

and I could tell he was real by dust marks on his coat
he pointed to the right and gave the greenlight, go
I swore the universe behind me would explode
But he patted my back and said “We’ll see you home”

A few days have passed, I’m going steady
The gift is still somewhere with me
My route is by the dust and not the sea

mercy
Have mercy
have mercy on me
