lyrics

Every night I'll make love to you
so we won't forget how our pens
found the words
I want to do it right
Remove your suit of armour
Yeah, I became a singer of song
You know?

"Don't be scared to live like that"
The artist wrote it down so he would not forget
I played old chords worn out by pop stars
Living with the culture and shit
I gave them money

And late at night
When you had shut your eyes
For the moon, the sea yonder
met the sky

Do you really know where your sorrow should go?
I became a writer of writ
When all around I saw people living
What the fuck was I doing?
