Taken from the album MILOW (2009) • http://www.milow.com • / milow • / milowofficial • iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/nl/album/milo... • LYRICS • I'm Peter Vanderhoelt, I'm 68 years old • My doubts and questions have increased • In forty-two years of being a priest • I'm at the end of my life • I'm not sure if I'm gonna survive • I often don't know what to say • When I talk to Him, when I pray • In reply I receive only silence, no relief • I've waited in vain for a little advice • From that great voice in the ethereal skies • Once I was a revolutionary • A devoted mercenary • A gifted student in God's hands • Now I'm old and sick of his demands • I tried to be honest and good • Did my job the best I could • But I always stayed that average man right in the spot where I began • During the grief with which I've dealt • It's been three decades since I've felt • The certainty I so adored • About the existence of the Lord • I've seen enough, that's why I know • God left this place a long long time ago • I've given to my parish • Things I don't have myself, but cherish • Namely love and charity • Mostly purpose, that's what sets you free • So I'm where the metaphors • Are not comforting anymore • I think I'm almost done with my search • I got old so fast here in my church • It feels as if I'm kept out • Of some sort of secret about • The meaning of life • Sometimes I can't fail to notice • These are mediocre times • I've seen enough that's why I know • God left this place a long long time ago • Time has made me good at one thing • And horrible at everything else • The blessings of the world divine • Were always elsewhere, were never mine • Oh I would like to hold someone • Briefly, maybe have some fun • But my body's oddly designed • So I'm not really the hugging kind • Not once has there been • Someone with a softer skin • Who reached out for me • In the middle of the night • Across my old lumpy mattress • When I turn on the light • I think I've been miscast • The time of saints is past • My faith is weak, last but not least • After forty-two years of being a priest • The church is like a woman • A thing out of reach, like a vision • She glimmers in the distance • To which I could never quite get • Now I am left here with my regret • I've seen enough that's why I know • God left this place a long long time ago • I've seen enough that's why I know • God left this place a long long time ago • It's my portion, it's my cup • It's my portion, it's my cup
