lyrics

Bookkeeper

Bookkeeper lend me your chair
or whatever it is that keeps you going
these days I count down the years
for words on my tongue that’d be worth knowing
pretty words that speak volumes to me
they come few and far between
and my lips do cease
I’ll say no, I’ll say no, it can’t be

Lover come into my room
I will be living on the road this spring
but we can make our winter warm
before I leave you stuck here in this
big ridiculous human machine
you know I could make you clean
I’ll teach you guitar
and give you words to sing
then you can leave, you can leave here with me


Oh how my mouth is dry
for sweet elixirs you deny
but if you’d let me have my way
I’d believe anything you say
You can take my songs away
but just spare me a few words to say
that we’re still okay

You know I may come running back to you
Thinking it over you have been good to me
So whisper your songs in my ear
Give me your blessing, I’ll steal your thunder
I’ll do anything, you know I can earn my keep

I will play this guitar like you have never seen
draw a line in the sand and
I will shake that fabled hand
and for every darkened day
and for every night I was away
I’ll obey, I’ll obey, I will obey
