'The world is full of people whose notion of a satisfactory future is, in fact, a return to the idealized past.' - Robertson Davies, A voice from the attic
lyrics
The empty and fragmented hum
is what our bodies will feed on
when the old car radio will spurt
music so beautiful it hurts.
If I hold your hand will you hold my gaze
I'm an open book on an empty page
so if you have the time then feel free
to scribble on me with your lines of poetry;
But you got to be careful,
because not everything is as it seems:
I heard that melody and rhyme are gifts from the sky,
and they are all it takes to bring a man to his knees,
and they are all it takes to set a man free.
The broken and disjointed song
is what our bodies will feed on
when there is nothing left but grief and debt
and wounded minds trying so hard not to forget
the night sky under which we blushed
and the days we spent trying so hard not to touch
I would re-record if I had the time
would you sing with me
about a time when you were mine;
But you got to be careful,
because not everything is as it seems,
I heard that melody and song were ours all along,
and they are all it takes to make a blind man see,
and they are all it takes set a man free.
This song will set you free,
this song will set you free,
come on darling run away with me
because this song will set you free.
