<pre><font size='+2'>WHEN YOU GIVE IT AWAY lyrics BRUCE COCKBURN</font><br>Slid out of my dreams like a baby out of the nurse`s hands<br />
Onto the hard floor of day<br />
I`d been wearing OJ`s gloves and I couldn`t get them off<br />
It was too early but I couldn`t sleep<br />
Showered and dressed, stepped out into the heat<br />
The parrot things on the porch next door<br />
Announced my arrival on Chartres Street<br />
With their finest rendition of squealing brakes <br />
<br />
Down in Kaldi`s caf the newspaper headlines promised new revelations<br />
Concerning Prince Charles` Amex account<br />
A morose young man in old-tim Austrian drag<br />
Stares past his long mustache at the ground<br />
And last night`s punks and fetish kids<br />
All tattoos and metal bits<br />
And in the other corner (wearing the white trunks)<br />
Today`s tourists already sweating <br />
<br />
Deep in the city of the saints and fools<br />
Pearls before pigs and dung become jewels<br />
I sit down with tigers, I sit down with lambs<br />
None of them know who exactly I am <br />
<br />
I`ve got this thing in my heart<br />
I must give you today<br />
It only lives when you<br />
Give it away<br />
Languid mandalla of the ceiling fan<br />
Teases the air like a slow stroking hand<br />
Study the faces, study the cards<br />
Study the shadow creeping over the yard <br />
<br />
I`ve got this thing in my heart<br />
I must give you today<br />
It only lives when you<br />
Give it away<br />
Trouble with the nations, trouble with relations<br />
Where you going to go to find illumination?<br />
Too much to carry, too much to let go<br />
Time goes fast - learning goes slow <br />
<br />
But I`ve got this thing in my heart<br />
I must give you today<br />
It only lives when you<br />
Give it away<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/when_you_give_it_away_lyrics-bruce_cockburn.html" target='_blank'>WHEN YOU GIVE IT AWAY lyrics BRUCE COCKBURN</a></pre>

Slid out of my dreams like a baby out of the nurse`s hands
Onto the hard floor of day
I`d been wearing OJ`s gloves and I couldn`t get them off
It was too early but I couldn`t sleep
Showered and dressed, stepped out into the heat
The parrot things on the porch next door
Announced my arrival on Chartres Street
With their finest rendition of squealing brakes

Down in Kaldi`s caf the newspaper headlines promised new revelations
Concerning Prince Charles` Amex account
A morose young man in old-tim Austrian drag
Stares past his long mustache at the ground
And last night`s punks and fetish kids
All tattoos and metal bits
And in the other corner (wearing the white trunks)
Today`s tourists already sweating

Deep in the city of the saints and fools
Pearls before pigs and dung become jewels
I sit down with tigers, I sit down with lambs
None of them know who exactly I am

I`ve got this thing in my heart
I must give you today
It only lives when you
Give it away
Languid mandalla of the ceiling fan
Teases the air like a slow stroking hand
Study the faces, study the cards
Study the shadow creeping over the yard

I`ve got this thing in my heart
I must give you today
It only lives when you
Give it away
Trouble with the nations, trouble with relations
Where you going to go to find illumination?
Too much to carry, too much to let go
Time goes fast - learning goes slow

But I`ve got this thing in my heart
I must give you today
It only lives when you
Give it away
