The Question
Anna Tivel
Am
(início)
Am F C G In my dream you were beautiful, backlit, noble Am F C G In the lowlight of the window, you were leaning on the edge Am F C G The high rises and billboards, for perfume and call girls Am F C G The steam above the dark road, the smoke around your head
Verse 2
Am F C G I knew you by description, the tall tales, the pictures Am F C G Your short hair and your lipstick, the smell of coming rain Am F C G I wanted to remain there, a voyeur, a stranger Am F C G Below you in the night air, just waiting to be changed
Verse 3
Am F C G Eyeliner and nylons, the calm upon your face drawn Am F C G Revealing next to nothing, a deal you don’t believe Am F C G The bible in a locked drawer, the past you gave it up for Am F C G The hymnal and the comfort in exchange for living free
Verse 4
Am F C G And lined up with the laundry, your slacks and all your stockings Am F C G Suit jacket and the soft things you dance in when you dream Am F C G The neighbors never mention, the woman they see leaving Am F C G Is the man who works the morning shift selling gasoline
Verse 5
Am F C G In my dream you were stone still, shadowed, half built Am F C G A masterpiece of pure will, just waiting on the world Am F G To gaze upon your body, a razor on a rough cheek Am F G The blaze of burning beauty, the saved and the worth saving Am F G A hallelujah waiting to raise the heavy curtains Am F G A play with no good ending, a prayer that never mentioned Am F C G The glory of the question and the answer is the same
