(BPM: 76) INTRO Been so long since a strange woman slept in my bed Look how sweet she sleeps how sweet must be her dreams In another lifetime she must have owned the world or been faithfully wed To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlit stream I and I in creation where one's nature neither honours nor forgives I and I one said to the other no man sees my face and lives Think I'll go out and go for a walk Not much happenin' in here nothing ever does Besides if she wakes up now she'll just want me to talk I got nothin' to say especially about whatever it was CHORUS Took an untrodden path once where the swift don't win the race It goes to the worthy who can divine the word of truth Took a stranger to teach me to look into justice's beautiful face And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth CHORUS Outside are two men on a train platform there's nobody in sight They're waiting for spring to come or for something to crack The world could come to an end tonight but that's alright She should still be there sleeping when I get back CHORUS Noon time and I'm still pushin' myself along the road, the darkest part Into the narrow lanes I can't stumble or set foot Someone's out to speakin' with my mouth but I'm listenin' only to my heart I make shoes for everyone, even you, while I still go barefoot CHORUS OUTRO |
