lyrics

Sing in the shadows
let the light in
hear all the voices
from the thriving streets and choirs

here comes my poet
straining on the leash
"The world must be listening
to sounds I don't hear"

your heads on a plate
and the crowd is chanting
this could be your fate
to be smooth and charming

Here comes my poet
all dazed and crazed
"I'm so glad I heard it
I'm so glad I changed
I'm changed
I'm changed for the better
a hopeless case
now a legend unfettered
released and fine!"

She was young she was crazy
in that musical way
as soon as I heard her
I wanted to stay
I wanted to worship this shimmering soul
to drown in her sound
to fill up that hole
that always needs filling
to make up that whole......

Open the window
let the air in
walk out the door
feel the early morning traffic
follow all the stories
in this city of the endless flow

avoiding the eyes
of the thieves and poets
the thieves and the poets

i do not seek i find
I do not seek I find
