over the rhine – conjectures of a guilty bystander lyrics
you are a gardener
you cultivate my soul
you water thirsty vines
that snake along my spine
in case i forget to shiver
you are a carpenter
you build the scaffolding
replace the windowpane
i see the sky again
as if i’ve been delivered
you are a fisherman
my weather lets you know
when and when not to wait
your hook’s inside the bait
i’m wary but i swallow
you are a messenger
you bring me all the news
the kind that never lies
it’s written in my eyes
you beckon and it follows
i get to be guilty
i
you are a singer too
carry me like a tune
like a newborn child
i’m wrapped up for a while
you’re swaying like a hobo
you are a circus clown
i’ve never laughed before
beneath your canopy
oh, say a prayer for me
i want this in a photo
so be a photographer
i’m dancing naked now
across the maple floor
above the lion’s roar
your pictures will protect me
you must be a scientist by now
with rumpled midnight hair
you’ve studied every pore
and every follicle
of my bewildered body
i get to be guilty
i
yours is a different light
i like my face that way
the canvas of my skin
serene and strange but true
