Lyrics

What You Are

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You`re in a car

A pale blue car

Under some sky

Some northern sky

The radio`s on

Some music`s playing

Fingers are moving

And your lips are singing

I`m a fool

I`m a fool

For even thinking

That`s what you are

Still on the road

That`s where I see you

Stop at a lay by

And lightly sleeping

The music`s playing

So far away now

Your hands aren`t moving

So what are they saying

I`m a fool

I`m a fool

For even thinking

That`s what you are

You`re moving out now

And talking to strangers

They`re telling stories

Your eyes say it`s easy

They`re giving you reasons

To keep on going

Wheels keep on turning

Things keep on selling

And here`s your jacket

And here`s your cuff links

And here`s some letters

And a hundred worthless things

You kept them unhidden

Maybe hoped we`d find them

They lie unopened

For no one to own them

I`m a fool

I`m a fool

I`m a fool

I`m a fool

For even thinking

For even thinking

For even thinking

For even thinking

That`s what you are
