His face reveals it
My sweet trepidation
An eagerness of my own
A shiver slips through my bones
Can you see cobblestone roads
Running through his stare
He's so clandestine
He's such a vision
So tell me sister
He sits here in this small dive
There's something behind those eyes
Did you perceive the wilderness
Resting there so did I
Laughing he stalls me
Crazy he calls me
He thinks me artless
For not stocking berry wines
From certain australian vines
Have mercy sister
He's travelled 'round the world
He's like a shadow
There by the window
But no man's an island
No man's an artesian well
He loves the cathedral bell
It sings about him
When he goes home at night so do i
You say he feels it His face reveals it My sweet trepidation An eagerness of my own A shiver slips through my bones Can you see cobblestone roads Running through his stare He's so clandestine He's such a vision So tell me sister He sits here in this small dive There's something behind those eyes Did you perceive the wilderness Resting there so did I Laughing he stalls me Crazy he calls me He thinks me artless For not stocking berry wines From certain australian vines Have mercy sister He's travelled 'round the world He's like a shadow There by the window But no man's an island No man's an artesian well He loves the cathedral bell It sings about him When he goes home at night so do i Explain Request ×
