The second you offered me a ride I couldn't get the thought out of my mind Promises open when they're pried Up with a vapor of a week of sighs
The cards say "A change is coming near And as a nestling on the bough The fool is the martyr of the now" Izzit true what they tell me? Inviting you in a second time How your possessions were lighter than mine And how we talked all through the night As if I'd have known you all of my life
Touching your finger to my eye How your prove the card was right That said you'd be all I have in sight Izzit true what they tell me? X4
Ay, is the lesson cast asunder O and you can't even know What kind of lack that you're leaving Ay, rang a rented bell of sorrow O in the lake and the forest, go to hell I adore you Ay, ever-righteous call of thunder Oh I don't know what to call it But I know that you feel it Ay, ever-wretched call of thunder With no regrets
Now I receive you on the day I hide and seek you on the hour *In time* In odysseys of no and yes Even now, as a witness And even now
Am I a finch, am I the cage? O either way I couldn't care If you could see inside my head Where every clock is stopped by you Like in some silent threat Like I'm the one that should be careful Though it never could have happened without you No it never could have happened without you
Budding interrupted In glory of their matching Winding up the rope Together and alone Tell me a story Leaving out the ending I don't want to know Whose heart was made to roam Izzit true what they tell me?
