time and good fortune

Singer:duncan sheik

drifter

what about her conversation?

drifter

how about an explanation?

where you go when you receive?

and why you never let her feed?

on all that truth you hold so dear

but never let another near

no one around

my

don't we love?

no one around

no

to the quiet gazes

no

to the muttered phrases

no

to the utter waste of

time and good fortune

taster of the poetry

of pater

proust and socrates

what are you to do but sleep

when are you to stop and weep?

for all your inability

to mate with your own memory

no one around

my

don't we love?

no one around

no

to the mindless gazes

no

to the splintered phrases

no

to the utter waste of

time and good fortune

singer

will the singing say it?

singer

would such saying change it?

a whole long life spent tuning strings

and will it now mean anything?

but empty chords that only bring

an endless

voiceless sorrowing

no one around

my

don't we love?

no one around

no

to the frightened gazes

no

to the stuttered phrases

no

to the utter waste of

time and good fortune

time and good fortune

time and good fortune
