a Singer of Songs - Agus Lyrics




You were so skinny
I could barely see you
You were sitting on a window sill
Smoking a spliff
It was a 7 floor building
A cold night to be chilling
You were so far above the buzz
The buzz I was in
So I lingered and dallied
I was patient & ready
But it was the night sky you fancied
I was too small to be seen
So I pulled myself up to you
With strength I didn't have
I yelled the dust off my voice
And when I rose above the noise
You looked down, and I was seen (x2)

You took my hand in your hand
To chase our favorite bands
PJ Harvey & Nacho Vegas
We sang their words like they'd made us
We were beautiful freaks
With only knowledge to seek
A whole world yet to change
We held our dreams at close range
We let maps rule our lives
We lived along their dotted lines
That never went back to start
But then they took us apart
And all our favorite songs
Turned out plain sad when sung alone
We were one by a thin line
And when we pushed from both sides
It bended, but it did not break (x2)

Now our sill ain't that high
Home is where we both are
We don't need the sky
To imagine the stars
We'll whisper new songs
And we'll know what they mean
I'll turn down the volume
When you fall asleep
We'll turn our maps around
We'll make 'up' what was 'down'
We'll find comfort in our names
When our bodies start to ache
We won't change the world
But the world won't change us
We'll have our silence be heard
Our truths read in the dust
When the buzz becomes too loud
We'll turn our backs to the crowd
I'll put my arm through your arm
And we'll walk away
We'll walk away...
