Micah Blue Smaldone - A Guest
Copied!edit Lyrics
Not until the guest arrives
Sets his boots beside the fire
Draws a chair between you and I
To a table set before our birth
Not until the cork is pulled
Every glass flows with wine
And heads recline in unison
As we sip and swallow hard
Not until the soup is brought
Thin with sweat from the brow
Of our cook who knows not how
To feed his friends and not his foes
Not until the bones are bare
Crooked spoons cast aside
Like the glance of our guest
Who bows his head, though not in prayer
Not until the meat is served
Prostrate, freshly slain
By a man who cries for naught
Not a beast who cries for the moon
Not until our guest is full
Wet with gore, his handsome beard
Pushes forth a littered plate
With swollen, filthy hands
Not until our glasses sound
Against the hearth, and to the floor
Shattered chimes of merriment
Silence reclaims the room
Not until our guest has turned
Making haste to the door
To stagger on, across the yard
Down the road, towards the dawn
Will I rest
(vocalizing)
Sets his boots beside the fire
Draws a chair between you and I
To a table set before our birth
Not until the cork is pulled
Every glass flows with wine
And heads recline in unison
As we sip and swallow hard
Not until the soup is brought
Thin with sweat from the brow
Of our cook who knows not how
To feed his friends and not his foes
Not until the bones are bare
Crooked spoons cast aside
Like the glance of our guest
Who bows his head, though not in prayer
Not until the meat is served
Prostrate, freshly slain
By a man who cries for naught
Not a beast who cries for the moon
Not until our guest is full
Wet with gore, his handsome beard
Pushes forth a littered plate
With swollen, filthy hands
Not until our glasses sound
Against the hearth, and to the floor
Shattered chimes of merriment
Silence reclaims the room
Not until our guest has turned
Making haste to the door
To stagger on, across the yard
Down the road, towards the dawn
Will I rest
(vocalizing)

A derelict that bore your name Of the scene was not worthy Ran aground the coast of Maine Where the marshes held it gently But is it here that you will stay Where the worms
