I sit down in the Underground trying to be gay
|
see the wild grass turn just into hay
|
I see the magic movement but they don't fly away
|
bad karma and it ricochets my eye
|
bad karma round me
|
the asp and the ashed and the infant of flame
|
Murgatroyd and Doris and the leper-leaping lame
|
the sad and the giggly and the black-suit swain
|
I see your face and know you
|
|
Easy as lightning I've laughed in the leaves
|
and I'd feel like Ali Baba when he quit the forty thieves
|
I can cruel no more so you cause me to grieve
|
I see your face and know you
|
I don't dig hating and I don't like to try
|
but how can I love you when you want me to die
|
oh Lord, live and learn
|
I see your face and know you
|
|
I wish I was springtime green as the snow
|
I'd sprinkle me with growing dust green for to grow
|
I'd leave here running 'cause walking's too slow
|
I see your face and know you
|
oh watch how the light comes new each day
|
if you learn how to wonder you will know how to pray
|
oh Lord, live and learn
|
I see your face and know you.
