Quite Contrary - Jason Webley

Show me the way home

Show me the way home

Show me the way back

She is my ripe tomato

She’s my carrot on a stick

I’ve been drunk upon her juice so long

I don’t know where I am

Now show me the way home

Show me the way home

Show me the way back home

She says the cup is broken

Now she tells me it is full

Mary, Mary, quite contrary

I don’t know where to go

Now show me the way home

Show me the way home

Show me the way back home

She whispers, «Surrender, come blind to my side»

I will be on the twelve o-clock train

And I walk through the world, stunned by beauty,

I am king today

Now I watch the hours and the boxcars go by

Still I am waiting in the rain

Oh, she gives, she gives, she gives

And she takes away

Now show me the way home

Show me the way home

Show me the way back home
