Monastery Songtext
And I know what I know from the monastery

I don't talk very much so be patient with me

I only say what I mean

I learned to be a man at the monastery

If that gives you the right to be frightened of me
Then you don't know who I am



I live another life

Terminally out of place

Vowed to never turn away

When I did I saw your face



And I go where I go where I want you to be

If I hold out my hand will you hold on to me

And stop the shivering inside?


And I want you to have what I wanted for me

They say life comes and goes well it's long gone for me

And I don't want to be left behind

And I know it's too late to be who I could be

But for once in my life I am who I believe

Although it makes me cry



Torn apart inside

By ghosts of comfort and disgrace

Vowed to never turn away

When I did I saw your face



And I know what I know from the monastery

I learned to be a man at the monastery

If I hold out my hand will you hold out your hand to me?

To me?
