about

(yes. There is a rhyme in there. Oops. whatever.)

There may or may not be a few different mixes of this floating around--and for a while I donated it to Joe 'Covenant' Lamb and myself when we were doing Dualtiy and writing our tunes for these contests. But originally, I wrote it for Masters of Song Fu and it was maybe one of the first couple of songs where I was doing a style I liked.

Here's the blog entry I made about it in the original Song Fu

lyrics

They tied our hands together
that time that we met
It was maybe a little intense for our first date

And I don't have a homeland now
No one's really from anywhere I s'pose
I've heard the rumors but I'm lying here undressed

My love, you'll be alright
You've reached a place of safety
Be careful, good night
don't look behind your fears
For I have drawn a curtain right over the darkness
Here, come claim your home
don't look for hidden halls

In the morning I'm not shy because you're mine
And you say these things are all for me
And I don't put no stock
in all the suspicious storytellings
when my mind is shocked by love
Then you tell me not to walk on down the hall

For anything, for anything
For anything, for anything
My love I thought I gave you all that you wanted
So now we'll go away into the darkness
(And you know what curiosity did for that cat)

They tied our hands together, the *first* time we met
(it was almost too easy, it was almost too tragic)
You say that I have all of your resources, and your love
(I waited for the inevitable end of the line)

Only one thing that I asked
(you gave me the keys)
You know what curiosity did for the cat
My beautiful girl
(to everything, to everything -)

(How can a man who can touch me like you do...)
I already know you will ignore my requests
(...be so violent and sad, with no regret … )
And now the key will never wipe clean
