Winston's waiting for Julia.
Winston picked his way up the lane through dappled light and shade, stepping out into pools of gold wherever the boughs parted. Under the trees to the left of him the ground was misty with bluebells. The air seemed to kiss one's skin. It was the second of May. From somewhere deeper in the heart of the wood came the droning of ring doves.
He was a bit early.

Julia
1. No sooner do the words "no blood no flood" pass from my lips
And two tracks later begin the apocalypse
Sending little brown boys and girls into a water grave
And who does Buddah Allah Jesus save?
2. Is this our due, Lord, are you gettin all Old Testament?
I apologize for prayin for indifference
Instant karma come and get me
3. It's a struggle believing.
When everyone's trying to rule ya
In a garden of Eden
Winston's waiting for Julia
4. And I don't know which book to believe no more
Matthew Mark or Luke or John - or George...
Oh... well. 1 to the 9 to the 8 to the 4
And we have always been at war.
5. So Winston: step out into pools of gold where the boughs part.
Up the lane through dappled light and shade you make your way.
The ground is misty with bluebells. The air seems to kiss your skin.
It's the second of May.
6. But tell me Winston was she worth the wait?
You musta had to know she would eventually capitulate
Couldya read between her lines even before you been with her?
No Julia: I'm gonna stick with Jennifer.
7. But it's a struggle believing.
When everyone's trying to fool ya
In a garden of Eden
Winston's waiting for Julia
8. And everything you know
All that you understand
Julia takes your trembling hand
She's gonna crush that mountain of your knowledge into sand
In the rush the space between your faith and this new place
And you want it, and you don't want it
And you want it, and you don't want it...
Anticipate... the anticipation...
9. Play your guitar, Jennifer, darling
10. Ain't no concedin
No more lettin them fool ya
In the garden of Eden
Winston's waitin' for julia
11. Dear Jean Luc. Send me a sign.
Dear Jennifer. Send me a sign.
Dear Julia. Send me a sign.
Somebody help me now
12. Dear Daddy
Can you send me a sign?
Dear Daddy
Can you help my light to shine?
It's gettin' me down, the state of this world
Help me raise this little baby girl
13. And the answer is the one thing I already know
And I usually hear it inside of a little girl's laugh
Daddy's saying: "You had it right 11 songs ago.
Third record: the third verse, of the third track."
14. "Remember what Jesus said
Don't worry 'bout no Julia
Remember what Jesus said
Just sing halelujah."
