Eutychus (New & Improved Version)
A guy fell out of a window...
Hello! I'm a forty-something musician wannabe recording in the studio when my wife's not using it for the kitchen. Update: Sixty.
Story behind the song
Had to get it out of my system...
Acts 20:9-12 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead. 10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. 11 When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed. 12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
Lyrics
Sittin’ in the window
Listenin’ to the preachin’
Eyes getting heavy
What do I do?
The preachers on fire
His words are smokin
The Spirit is movin
When will he be through?
It’s been a long night
Can’t stay awake
Don’t know how much more
Of this I can take
I’m driftin’ between
Here and a dream
Purple ponies dancin’
Things are not what they seem
The moon so is pretty
Shining in the sky
The preachin’s good
Is there an end to this guy
My head just fell
And bounced off my knee
Can’t tell what’s real
And what’s fantasy
Now I feel lighter
Than I’ve ever been
I look toward the ground
it’s crashin in
I’m in heaven now
Didn’t expect to be
I hear someone prayin’
They’re cryin’ for me
Back in my body
Oh what a ride
Next time I’ll take a nap
And stay open-eyed.
