Give me a Sign
9/15/02 ©2003 KNOLLWIT

You're all broken now
Put the pieces
On your silver-plated tongue

And the mistress Alahon
Has all come undone

Bring the worn umbrella
Let her winter
Turn it inside out

Spin the old clock's hands
Back to
Ten days ago
And around the back

And if there's someone
You used to know
Who can help you
Honey, get started

And the crackling hairs
On your scrutinized thread
Twist around and around
Get it in your head

Give me a sign (repeat)

Someone comes now
This way
Just turned about your corner

With a lantern
Two tails
And a game to play

And you want to try it
Like the last time
You tried before

Alahon is watching
Waiting
From the window above
Your burning door

And if there's someone
You used to know
Who can help you
Honey, get started

And the crackling hairs
On your scrutinized thread
Twist around and around
Get it in your head

Give me a sign (repeat)

Rain
Clattering down
Tis' the water
Making the road unclear

So simply put
From your pretty mouth
My dear

Give me a sign (repeat x4)
