Lyrics
I was holding my breath when the tightrope walker slipped into the moon glow Saying all my children, follow me Maybe it's time to go You can be chrome when you're wise You can be wise when you're blue And baby, if I have Then I have for you Bribing the jury to keep me in jail, singing "Tea for the Tillerman" And although I lie fantastically, I swore an oath on my history It's a miracle I can see You can be wrong when you're right Even when you're right on cue And if I die tonight Then I die for you Calling on those that call me son Great-grandson and grandson Great uncles, aunts, and relatives To judge what I have done Wanna make it right by you Even if it's all I do And if it's all I do Then I do it for you People will raise a whole lotta hell about the water in the windmill And although I stab chaotically It hurts no one but me Even the darkness has arms But they ain't got you And baby, I have it And I have you, too And a light in the window to pass the night through May be so uncertain but what can I do Keeping it on, keeping it on And I know I like it but what does that prove Sometimes I worry I don't know how to love you I bring to you with reverent hands All the books that my love abides The kind woman that my passion wore Like the shoreline wears the tides Maybe the water went dry Keeping an eye on you And with an eye on you It could drown me, too People will raise a whole lotta hell about the water in the windmill And although I stab chaotically I swore an oath on my history It's a miracle I can see Even the darkness has arms But they ain't got you And baby, I have it And I have you, too And a light in the window to pass the night through May be so uncertain but what can I do Keeping it on, keeping it on And I know I like it but what does that prove Sometimes I worry I don't know how to love you
