Great piano and a man who failed to sign the papers
I’m listening to you as you speak in my ear as the music gets louder than sin
You are asking me why I am happy to wait even though you are fit to begin
I reply that its not that I don’t want your love
Or that I have a newlove somewhere
Its just that I want to be sure when I move
That the exit plans already there
You can call me your lover your father your brother
For all men I have been at times
The rich man the poor man the wise man the blind man
I have played all these parts and damn fine
So its over to you if there’s still a next move
I am ready to give you my shell
And if you prove true and theres nothing to lose
I will offer up my heart as well.
I will walk down the path to the place where you shine outside of the room where you lay
I will talk of your grace and your beautiful face that you gave up to me on that day
For the boy and the girl with their sails unfurled will set off on the ocean of dreams
Where the passions once spent will give cause to repent and the balance just something obscene
If you need to be blessed by the moments you dressed in a gown of the perfect esteem
Then I’ll give you my key to repeat after me that the message is not what it seems
Yes if the moments were dressed and the hours complex I would not refuse you a dance
But the sinners will cry it was only white lies we were never given a chance
