intro intro intro You come from far away with pictures in your eyes Of coffee shops and morning streets in the blue and silent sunrise But night is the cathedral where we recognized the sign We strangers know each other now as part of the whole design Oh, hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep Curl me up inside you and let me hear you through the heat Ohhhh... You're the jester of this courtyard with a smile like a girl's Distracted by the women with the dimples and the curls By the pretty and the mischevious, by the timid and the blessed By the blowing skirts of ladies who promise to gather you to their breast Oh, hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep Curl me up inside you and let me hear you through the heat Ohhhh... guitar solo guitar solo You have hands of raining water and that earring in your ear The wisdom on your face denies the number of your years With the fingers of the potter and the laughing tale of a fool The arranger of disorder with your strange and simple rules Yeah, now I've met me another spinner of strange and gauzy threads With a long and slender body and a bump upon the head Oh, hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep Curl me up inside you and let me hear you through the heat Ohhhh... With a long and slender body and the sweetest, softest hands And we'll blow away forever soon and go on to different lands And please do not ever look for me, but with me you will stay And you will hear yourself in song, blowing by one day But now hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep Curl me up inside you and let me hear you through the heat Ohhhhhh... Ohhhhhh... Instrumental
