| I could have painted your lines
|
| I could have dined on your open mind
|
| And pulled the chaff from the wheat
|
| Gone along when you’re less discreet
|
| But I was still a silhouette, hey
|
| A baby Moses on the steps, hey
|
| I was waiting for a word that you’d let me stay
|
| If you’d fallen from the sun
|
| Count your blessings and call me one
|
| If you’d spit in my eyes and you’d left me but one surprise
|
| I could’ve filled up a house with the notes of an unlocked mouth
|
| All the notes of my mouth, I could’ve taken a wife
|
| I could’ve heard you and lost the fight anyway
|
| But I was still a silhouette, hey
|
| A baby Moses on the steps, hey
|
| I was waiting for a word that you’d let me stay
|
| I made most of the beds I lay in
|
| I have cut off my hands and tried to dig in
|
| I made most of the beds I lay in
|
| Sew your tears to my feet
|
| Shake them hard when they fall asleep
|
| Tie your road to my shoes
|
| Tell me that it’s what you had to do
|
| It’s what you had to do anyway |
