In a Market Dimly Lit - MeWithoutYou[00:00:00]

The bird that plucked the olive leaf[00:00:36]

Has been circling like a record never ending in my mind[00:00:40]

Where the needle's worn the grooves too deep[00:00:45]

And scratched the wax that's blistered from the heat besides[00:00:49]

So from any movement in the room[00:00:54]

If my cat walked by the arm skipped[00:00:58]

But to my surprise my interrupting cat improved[00:01:00]

A sound already so severely compromised[00:01:07]

The needle's worn the grooves too deep[00:01:11]

The needle's worn the grooves too deep[00:01:15]

The needle's worn the grooves too deep[00:01:20]

The needle's worn the grooves too deep[00:01:24]

I'm a donkey's jaw on a desert dune[00:01:28]

Beside the bush that moses saw[00:01:32]

That burned and yet was not consumed[00:01:34]

She's the silver coin I lost[00:01:37]

I'm the sheep who slipped away[00:01:39]

We pray the fingers crossed[00:01:40]

But you listen patiently anyway[00:01:43]

I wrote a little song for you[00:02:03]

With a melody I'd borrowed put to words that didn't rhyme[00:02:07]

To repeat what you already knew[00:02:11]

As the stones thrown at your window tapped a syncopated time[00:02:14]

You kept a distance out of fear you'd break[00:02:18]

But what good's a single windchime hanging quiet all alone[00:02:23]

The music our collisions would make[00:02:27]

Is a sound that turns the road that leads us back home[00:02:31]

Into home[00:02:35]

The music our collisions make[00:02:36]

The music our collisions make[00:02:40]

The music our collisions make[00:02:44]

The music our collisions make[00:02:49]

I had a rusty spade but I'm not the fighting sort[00:02:52]

If I was samson I'd have found that harlot's blade[00:02:56]

And cut my own hair short[00:02:59]

Then in a market dimly lit I come casually to pay[00:03:01]

You see my coins are counterfeit[00:03:05]

But accept them anyway[00:03:07]

So spare me your goodbyes[00:03:29]

Your waving handkerchief good byes[00:03:30]

Given my tendency to err so on the sentimental side[00:03:33]

I'll spare you my goodbyes[00:03:36]

The truth belongs to God[00:03:38]

The mistakes were mine[00:03:40]
