I And I lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics I And I lyrics Been so long since a strange woman has slept in my bed Look how sweet she sleeps, how free must be her dreams In another lifetime she must have owned the world, or been faithfully wed To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlit streams. I and I In creation where one s nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One say to the other, no man sees my face and lives. Think I ll go out and go for a walk Not much happening here, nothing ever does Besides, if she wakes up now, she ll just want me to talk I got nothing to say, specially about whatever was. I and I In creation where one s nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One say to the other, no man sees my face and lives. Took an untrodden path once, where the swift don t win the race It goes to the worthy, who can divide the word of truth Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice s beautiful face And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. I and I In creation where one s nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One say to the other, no man sees my face and lives. Outside of two men on a train platform there s nobody in sight They re waiting for spring to come, smoking down the track The world could come to an end tonight, but that s all right She could still be there sleeping when I get back. I and I In creation where one s nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One say to the other, no man sees my face and lives. Noontime, and I m still pushing myself along the road, the darkest part Into the narrow lanes, I can t stumble or stay put Someone else is speaking with my mouth, but I m listening only to my heart I ve made shoes for everyone, even you, while I still go barefoot. I and I In creation where one s nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One say to the other, no man sees my face and lives. song lyrics
