Your off-white whiskey smile struck me to the core
Toe-tapping morse code secrets on your hardwood floor
I could not decipher them
What did you whisper them for?
Take your top hat and blanket and don't come 'round here no more
REFRAIN
Left foot, right foot
Movin' to someone else's sound
I've lost all sense of me
Not sure I want to be found
Release me from your gravity, it's pulling me down
And I can't seem to make my feet stay on the ground
"Buenas dias, Senorita," you said
And I was lifted off my chair
Straining to hear your resonance pouring through the air
A suit of green, finger pluckin' melody
No soul was spared
But I could not sing along
Strung me along after the song till I was bare
REFRAIN
You must be the blues,
I thought and stood on my head
Because the world made sense upside-down
Blood turning my eyes red
Held together by the skin of our cheeks
I followed and you led
To the rhythm slow and deep
But you looked at me and saw her instead
REFRAIN
Who are you,
Who will you be?
You jump off trains, fight with words
And love like rain on me
Won't you drench me down like a Carolina thunderstorm
Who are you
Who are you who'll stand with me
Stand on the lawn, technicolor in the dawn with me
Stand and hold me close as the grass grows 'tween my toes with me
REFRAIN

Night falls over the land
Her velvet cloak covers all
How can I trust my feet to guide me home
They've never trod this path before
The stars that watch me as I sing
Hang in the sky on silver strings
They speak of things I cannot see
Nothing to fear,
I am you and you are me
I am lost in a sea of black and gray
Like waves the silence fills my being
But then Orion points the way back home to you
Suddenly every step has meaning
The stars that watch me as I sing
Hang in the sky on silver strings
They speak of things I cannot see
Nothing to fear,
I am you and you are me
