Over The Rhine - Conjectures Of A Guilty Bystander lyrics
Your rating:
you cultivate my soul you water thirsty vines that snake along my spine in case I forget to shiver you are a carpenter you build the scaffolding replace the windowpane I see the sky again as if I've been delivered you are a fisherman my weather lets you know when and when not to wait your hook's inside the bait I'm wary but I swallow you are a messenger you bring me all the news the kind that never lies it's written in my eyes you beckon and it follows I get to be guilty I you are a singer too carry me like a tune I'm like a newborn child I'm wrapped up for a while you're swaying like a hobo you are a circus clown I've never laughed before beneath your canopy oh say a prayer for me I want this in a photo so be a photographer I'm dancing naked now across the maple floor above the lion's roar your pictures will protect me you must be a scientist by now with rumpled midnight hair you're studied ever pore and every follicle of my bewildered body I get to be guilty I yours is a different light I like my face that way the canvas of my skin serene and strange but true
