|
One night while walking on the rounds |
|
One seems to lose all control |
|
The face jerks in a spasm of frowns |
|
And the blood on the shirt |
|
Ladies' faces and memories of things |
|
Tried to long put away |
|
Surprised the head and a number of things |
|
Seemed to subtly say |
|
O don't be shy |
|
O don't be shy |
|
O don't be shy |
|
O don't be shy |
|
I can glance with a movement of lids |
|
Or a shift of my head |
|
When confronted with things that I did |
|
Act like nothing's been said |
|
Or take god as a covering guard |
|
When I do not believe |
|
In the grace of a governing god |
|
Who can see us in need |
|
O don't be shy |
|
O don't be shy |
|
O don't be shy |
|
O don't be shy |
|
Help me find what it is to be |
|
Is a womanly cry |
|
Any hint of a request for help |
|
Is not from I |
|
I can sing on the corners of streets |
|
O so in love |
|
While some goat incessantly bleats |
|
From there above |
|
O don't be shy |
|
O don't be shy |
|
O don't be shy |
|
O don't be shy |
