《Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander》歌词

[00:00:00] Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander - Over The Rhine

[00:00:19] You are a gardener you cultivate my soul you water thirsty vines

[00:00:29] That snake along my spine in case I forget to shiver

[00:00:36] You are a carpenter

[00:00:40] You build the scaffolding replace the windowpane

[00:00:48] I see the sky again as if I've been delivered

[00:00:55] You are a fisherman

[00:00:58] My weather lets you know when and when not to wait

[00:01:05] Your hook's inside the bait I'm wary but I swallow

[00:01:13] You are a messenger you bring me all the news

[00:01:20] The kind that never lies it's written in my eyes

[00:01:26] You beckon and it follows I get to be guilty I

[00:02:27] You are a singer too carry me like a tune

[00:02:34] Like a newborn child I'm wrapped up for a while

[00:02:40] You're swaying like a hobo you are a circus clown

[00:02:48] I've never laughed before beneath your canopy

[00:02:55] Oh say a prayer for me I want this in a photo

[00:03:02] So be a photographer I'm dancing naked now across the maple floor

[00:03:14] Above the lion's roar your pictures will protect me

[00:03:20] You must be a scientist by now with rumpled midnight hair

[00:03:28] You've studied every pore and every follicle

[00:03:34] Of my bewildered body I get to be guilty I

[00:04:35] Yours is a different light I like my face that way

[00:04:42] The canvas of my skin serene and strange but true
