E1 - Back there Benjamin - The Caretaker

You made all the delicate Inner parts of my body And knit them together - in my mother's womb You saw me before I was born And scheduled each day of my life Before I began to breathe Everyday of my life was recorded in your books. Oh how precious it is To know You're thinking about me constantly I can't even count - how many times a day Your thoughts turn towards me When I wake up in the Morning You're still thinking of me Everyday of my life Was recorded yes - in your books That's why oh- I will never be lost I will never get away I will never be forgotten to your Spirit (Wait a minute) If I go up to Heaven - You're there And if I go down the grave And if I ride the morning winds To the farest ocean Even there your hand will support and guide me Cause You're there x2 You're there (Speech) I've got something I gotta say... I want You to know that Everybody will turn his back on You And everybody will talk about You But He said in his word You don't have to worry no I knew You before You were born Just before your parents gave You a name I knew your name And He said in his word I know more about You than You know yourself And He said He knows where You're gonna end So You don't have to worry Let me hear You say... You're there (Repeat)

Well I gambled my last dollar on a girl in a sequin dress I was just outside of Philly trying to thumb my way back west In a dirty bathroom mirror, I tried to cut myself off I was always all or nothing and my courage keeps getting lost All the words you said to me came back on the drive Couldn't bear to bring myself inside because I'm barely alive Oh darling mine oh I'm going to make it back to you I'm going to make it back to you Oh darling mine oh I'm going to make it back to you I'm going to make it back to you I keep waking up with cold sweats they've been tearin' me at my seams I wish missing you was easier than you've been missing me All the anger in my bloodline had me going for my knife I felt guilty I felt crazy I cried the rest of the night Every time I turn around I see the look in your eyes Couldn't bear to bring myself inside because I'm barely alive Oh darling mine oh I'm going to make it back to you I'm going to make it back to you Oh darling mine oh I'm going to make it back to you I'm going to make it back to you oh You could call me in the morning just to see if I'm all right You could tell me that you love me even if I know it's a lie I'll keep driving in the direction my home used to be But it's just a worn out picture dancing like a faded magazine And every time I look inside feel like I'm losing my mind Couldn't bear to bring myself inside because I'm barely alive Oh darling mine oh I'm going to make it back to you I'm going to make it back to you Oh darling mine oh I'm going to make it back to you I'm going to make it back to you oh

Love is everything Love is everything, because Love makes the world go round Love is the foundation of our soul Love is the greatest feeling that any person could have And the love for someone or something Is the greatest feeling that could ever exist That's what love is

Take, take your time Smell the roses, but steal the vines Don't wait for the hands of time To second guess and change your mind And shine! Here's your moment to shine Shine... Lay down, my friend Close your eyes, breathe in And I'll take you there and back again No more questions why I'm not so surprised Why you have Been there and back again Replace, replace that line That spoke to you And showed no signs to be alive So are you livin' or dead? You have made a choice to hear your voice Or hold on to what they said Now, shine! Here's your moment to shine Shine... Lay down, my friend Close your eyes, breathe in And I'll take you there and back again No more questions why I'm not so surprised Why you have Been there and back again Back again, back again Back again, back again Lay down, my friend Close your eyes, breathe in And I'll take you there and back again No more questions why I'm not so surprised Why you have Been there and back again Lay down, my friend Close your eyes, breathe in And I'll take you there and back again No more questions why I'm not so surprised Why you have Been there and back again

I live in the cemetery 'Old Caretaker' they call me In the wintertime I rake the leaves And in the summer I cut the weeds When a funeral comes The people cry and pray They bury their dead Then they all go away Then here I work And I somehow hide From a world that rushes By outside But each night When I rest my head I'm contented As the peaceful dead But who's going to cry When old Josh dies? Who's going to cry When old Josh dies? Once I was a young man Dashing with the girls Now no one wants an old man When I lost my handsome curls But I want to say When my time comes Lay me facing The rising sun Put me in a corner Where I buried my pup Tell the preacher to pray Then cover me up Don't plant flowers Where my head should be Maybe God would Let some grow for me And all the little children That I love like my own Will they be sorry That Old Josh is gone? But who's going to cry When old Josh dies? Who's going to cry When old Josh dies?
