[00:23.67]Are we to speak, first day of the week
[00:28.99]Stumbling words at the bar
[00:34.31]Beauty blue eyes, my order of fries
[00:39.70]Long island kindness and wine
[00:45.02]Beloved of John, I get it all wrong
[00:50.59]I read you for some kind of stone
[00:55.86]Covered in lines, the fossils I find
[01:01.22]Have they no life of their own?
[01:06.43]So can we pretend sweetly
[01:11.86]Before the mystery ends?
[01:16.00]I am a man with a heart that offends
[01:20.51]With its lonely and greedy demands
[01:26.64]There’s only a shadow of me
[01:30.00]In a matter of speaking, I’m dead
[01:35.84]
[01:50.04]Such a waste, your beautiful face
[01:55.42]Slumbering carpet arise
[02:00.77]But you and your ring, your life-giving string
[02:06.21]Come to me now as a friend
[02:11.53]If history speaks, the kiss on my cheek
[02:16.42]I’m painting the hills blue and red
[02:22.43]They said beware, Lord hear my prayer
[02:27.71]Anointing my love on your head
[02:33.24]So can we be friends sweetly
[02:38.58]Before the mystery ends?
[02:42.80]I love you more than the world can contain
[02:47.48]In its loneliest ramshackle head
[02:53.68]There’s only a shadow of me
[02:56.75]In a matter of speaking I’m dead
[03:02.80]
[03:28.54]I’m holding my breath
[03:31.29]My signature death
[03:34.14]What can be said of my heart?
[03:39.51]If history speaks, the kiss on my cheek
[03:44.99]Where there remains but a mark
[03:50.15]Beloved my John, so I’ll carry on
[03:55.72]Counting my cards down to one
[03:58.52]And when I am dead, return to the bed
[04:05.84]My fossil is bright in the sun
