Phil Ochs - Keep The Change lyrics
Your rating:
Now I'd like to lay here in the night Now I'd like to linger in the light Wishing not to move I have nothing left to prove But did I hear you asking was it wrong or right Chorus If you feel a little strange Please have the memory and keep the change Now I'd like to hover in a hole Where silence is the singer of the soul I have no games to play I have no lines to say But someone's taking surveys on a passion pole Pretending every worry has all gone Now I'd like to drift into the dawn As simple as it seems (? ) Changing thoughts around to dreams (? ) But did I hear the stifling of a sleepless yawn Now I'd like to dangle in a dream A cavalier who's courting to the queen Hopelessly insane Running ragged through the rain But someone's directing lovers on a silver screen Now I'd live to hide behind a hand It's too late for leaving footprints on the sand Willing/chilling (? ) is the wine I've surrendered to the time But someone is insisting that they understand Now you've heard the story of the skin All the ashtrays have been powdered to the brim I'd only like to fall Watching whispers on the wall But someone's making up the bed and defining sin
