Sharpest Blade - Over The Rhine[00:00:00]
There was a time[00:00:09]
I could sleep anywhere[00:00:13]
My feet on a chair [00:00:17]
My heart in the woods;[00:00:20]
But love was aloof [00:00:27]
Just a beggar for tips[00:00:29]
A mime on whose lips[00:00:36]
No promises stood[00:00:40]
But you can cut me quick[00:00:45]
In the light of the shade [00:00:49]
With the edge of the green[00:00:54]
Of the yard's sharpest blade;[00:00:58]
When nothing I knew[00:01:03]
Was all that it seemed[00:01:07]
I still dreamed[00:01:14]
Of a love to outlive us[00:01:16]
I still prayed[00:01:18]
That this night would outlast us[00:01:20]
And redeem some small thing[00:01:23]
Far beyond me[00:01:30]
Blossoms begin[00:01:41]
Like the tip of a spear [00:01:46]
Or the curve of a tear[00:01:50]
From a soldier who weeps;[00:01:53]
Seducing the guard[00:01:59]
Of lost years falling by[00:02:03]
As flowers to lie[00:02:08]
On the dead feigning sleep[00:02:13]
But you cut me quick[00:02:18]
In the light of the shade [00:02:22]
On the edge of the green[00:02:27]
Of the yard's dark parade;[00:02:31]
When nothing we knew[00:02:36]
Was all that it seemed[00:02:40]
I still dreamed[00:02:46]
Of a love to outlive us[00:02:49]
I still prayed[00:02:51]
That this night would forgive us[00:02:53]
And redeem some small thing[00:02:55]
Far beyond me[00:03:04]
But you cut me quick[00:03:49]
In the light of the shade [00:03:53]
On the edge of the green[00:03:58]
Of the yard's sharpest blade;[00:04:02]
When nothing we knew[00:04:07]
Was all that it seemed[00:04:11]
I still dreamed[00:04:17]
Of a love to outlive us[00:04:19]
I still prayed[00:04:22]
That this night will convince us[00:04:24]
And redeem some small thing[00:04:26]
Far beyond me[00:04:35]
