|
I was holding my breath |
|
When the tightrope walker slipped into the moon glow |
|
Saying all my children, follow me |
|
MAYBE IT'S TIME TO GO |
|
You can be cruel when you're wise |
|
You can be wise when you're blue |
|
And baby, if I have |
|
Then I have for you |
|
Bribing the jury to keep me in jail |
|
Singing tea for the tiller man |
|
And although I lie fantastically |
|
This woman knows of my history |
|
IT'S A MIRACLE I CAN SEE |
|
You can be wrong when you're right |
|
Even when you're right on cue |
|
And if I die tonight |
|
Then I die for you |
|
All I know is they call me son |
|
Great grandson and grandson |
|
Great uncles and some relatives |
|
That judge what I have done |
|
Gonna make it right by you |
|
Even if it's all I do |
|
And if it's all I do |
|
Then I do it for you |
|
People have raised a whole lotta hell |
|
About the water in the windmill |
|
And although I stab chaotically |
|
IT HURTS NO ONE BUT ME |
|
EVEN THE DARKNESS HAS ARMS |
|
But they ain't got you |
|
And baby, I have it |
|
And I have you, too |
|
And the light in the window |
|
To pass the night through |
|
Maybe so uncertain |
|
But what can I do |
|
Keeping it on |
|
Keeping it on |
|
And I know I like it |
|
But what does that prove |
|
Sometimes I worry I don't know how to love you |
|
I bring to you with reverent hand |
|
All the books and the lullabies |
|
The kind woman that my passion wore |
|
Like the shoreline wears the tides |
|
Maybe the water went dry |
|
Keeping an eye on you |
|
And with an eye on you |
|
IT COULD DROWN ME, TOO |
|
People have raised a whole lotta hell |
|
About the water in the windmill |
|
And although I stab chaotically |
|
I swore an oath on my history |
|
IT'S A MIRACLE I CAN SEE |
|
EVEN THE DARKNESS HAS ARMS |
|
But they ain't got you |
|
And baby, I have it |
|
And I have you, too |
|
And the light in the window |
|
To pass the night through |
|
Maybe so uncertain |
|
But what can I do |
|
Keeping it on |
|
Keeping it on |
|
And I know I like it |
|
But what does that prove |
|
Sometimes I worry I don't know how to love you |
