"Dishes"


I am not Jesus though I have the same initials -
I am the man who stays home and does the dishes.
& how was your day?
Is that woman still trying to do your head in?
A man told me to beware of 33.
He said, "It was not an easy time for me" but I'll get through even though
I've got no miracles to show you.

*I'd like to make this water wine
but it's impossible.
I've got to get these dishes dry.
Ah...

I'll read a story if it helps you sleep at night.
I've got some matches if you ever need a light.
Oh I am just a man
but I am doing what I can to help you.

*Repeat
& I'm not worried that I will never touch the stars
'cos stars belong up in heaven
& the earth is where we are.
Oh yeah.

& aren't you happy just to be alive? Anything's possible.
You've got no Cross to bear tonight. Ah
No not tonight, Ah.
No not tonight, Ah.
