Thirsty
God Street Wine Lyrics

I was thirsty
I was craving something, perhaps a refreshing liquid

I thought you might pour me a drink
I believed you had the ability to quench my thirst by providing me with a beverage

Forty days in the desert
I spent a considerable amount of time in unfavorable conditions, deprived of basic amenities

'Cause I needed time to think
This time spent in isolation was meant for me to introspect and reflect on my thoughts

I was lonely
I felt desolate and lacked companionship

I thought you might comfort me
I hoped to receive emotional support and solace from you

Forty dreams of darkness
I experienced a multitude of nightmares that were unpleasant

I thought would make me see
I was under the impression that these dreams would help me gain clarity and perception

And after all our nervous Monday morning glances
Despite stealing quick glances at each other during Monday mornings when we were both tense, nothing substantial resulted from our interactions

And after all our dollar ninety-nine romances
Even though we shared inexpensive romantic moments together, they did not hold much significance in the grand scheme of things

And after you had failed to save me
After you were not able to provide me with the help I needed, I was left to fend for myself

The sky opened up and forgave me
Suddenly, the weather drastically changed for the better, and I felt forgiven for whatever wrongs I may have committed

And it rained
The weather became rainy

A fallen angel in the night
A celestial being descended from the heavens under the cover of darkness

A promise of sunlight
The rain served as an assurance of the arrival of sunshine

A prayer to a lost king
The precipitation served as a supplication to a king who was presumed to be missing or deceased

The answer to everything
The rain held the key to resolving every issue or doubt I may have had

Now I'm empty
I am devoid of emotions or anything significant

Let the rain wash me down
I wish to cleanse myself by getting drenched in the precipitation

Pretty soon the ice will melt
Presently, there is a layer of ice that will soon thaw

And the birds will be back in town
When the weather clears up, the birds that had previously migrated will return

Now I'm movin'
I am leaving my current location

But I got nowhere to go
I am aimlessly wandering with no destination in mind

Pretty soon you'll hear from me
Soon enough, I will communicate with you in some form or the other

Or see me at the show
Alternatively, you may spot me at an event or performance

And after all the times I spied on you undressing
Despite secretly watching you while you undressed on several occasions

And after all our tender Conoco caressing
Even after we engaged in gentle touching and exchanges of affection

Just one more Sunday that I had to see
There was another dreary Sunday that I had to endure

That nobody's really what they seem to be
I realized that people can be incredibly deceiving, not who they appear to be at face value

And it so hurts my pride
This knowledge was not easy to accept, and it pained my ego

To get shut outside
I feel like an outsider, excluded from a group or community

And when I gave up all my high hopes for you
I lost all my lofty expectations that I had from you

When I gave up all the things that I thought I knew
I abandoned all the beliefs and convictions that I held with confidence

When I finally saw that nothing is true
When I realized that everything is a facade and nothing is genuine

I had nothing to say
I had no words to express my feelings or thoughts

And nothing to do...
I was directionless and without any purpose

[Chorus]
This is the chorus of the song that repeats throughout
