Righting the Writ

from In Silver River by Tawny Peaks

/

lyrics

Let's leap away
Let's do what's best and test the waters
A double play
A deal that benefits both heart and brain

Can you explain
How your paintings always come out perfect?
In return I'll show you
How to sing those songs you always strain

We'll sing them softly, and then we'll sing 'em loud
I know there are times when the words escape me

But I can't forget them now

I don't buy it, I'll knock until I try it
What a way we've memorized

Still I'm steered by my bad habits
And I've had it up to here
With a heart that bows before the brain

Can you explain
How your paintings always come out perfect?
In return I'll show you
How to sing those songs you always strain

We'll sing them softly, and then we'll sing 'em loud
I know there are times when the words escape me

But I can't forget them now

I don't buy it, I'll knock until I try it
What a way we've memorized

I don't buy it, I'll knock until I try it
Proof those parts we've memorized
Cross the Ts and dot the Is
What we spell should be written well
And I'd rather write than fight
