Conjectures Of A Guilty Bystander lyrics

you are a gardener
you cultivate my soul
you water thirsty vines
that snake along my spine
in case I forget to shiver
you are a carpenter
you build the scaffolding
replace the windowpane
I see the sky again
as if I`ve been delivered

you are a fisherman
my weather lets you know
when and when not to wait
your hook`s inside the bait
I`m wary but I swallow
you are a messenger
you bring me all the news
the kind that never lies
it`s written in my eyes
you beckon and it follows
I get to be guilty I

you are a singer too
carry me like a tune
I`m like a newborn child
I`m wrapped up for a while
you`re swaying like a hobo
you are a circus clown
I`ve never laughed before
beneath your canopy
oh say a prayer for me
I want this in a photo

so be a photographer
I`m dancing naked now
across the maple floor
above the lion`s roar
your pictures will protect me
you must be a scientist by now
with rumpled midnight hair
you`re studied ever pore
and every follicle
of my bewildered body
I get to be guilty I

yours is a different light
I like my face that way
the canvas of my skin
serene and strange but true
