Joshua Lyrics

there's this boy i knew named joshua
he wrote poetry and sang songs bout love
got the feeling there was a lack thereof
though i've never met anyone
who thinks they've had enough
and i was only nineteen way back then
oh and joshua liked my girlfriend
and for a week or two i think she liked him
then she turned around and liked me again
me again

so run away with me
dear joshua
come outside and feel
the glory of
oh the face of God that came and went
yeah and it left them out there wandering
like thirsty kids with their mouths open
figurin if it rained before it's gonna rain again
rain again

sometimes i hear my friend on the radio
it likes to take me back to not so long ago
when all my friends were gettin high
and they were feelin low
yes but which came first that's hard to know
always harder to know

so run away with me
dear joshua
come outside and feel
the glory of
oh the face of God that came and went
yeah and it left you out there wanderin
oh like a thirsty kid with his mouth open
figurin if it rained before it's gonna rain again

run away with me
dear joshua
come outside and feel
oh the glory of
yeah the face of God that came before
yeah and it left us out here just wantin more
oh come here lovers i have loved before
welcome the ones i don't see anymore
anymore
