The Blinds (Cost of Living)

CGFC

Sometimes
I draw the blinds
when I don't want the world to see

the times when
I half-understand
the complex simplicities

What do you see
when the sun sets?
What is it that you see?

Is it freedom?
Is it knowledge?
Why don't you come down here to be with me?

Why don't you come?
Why don't you come?
Why don't you come down here
and be with me?

Sometimes I wake up in the dark
and I wonder
I think about the little things you said

A new day dawns and like
the distant thunder
remind me who the man is in your bed

Sometimes
I draw the blinds
when I don't want the world to see

those times
when I half-understand
the complex reality

What do you see
when the sun sets?
What is it that you see?

Is it freedom?
Is it knowledge?
Why don't you come down here and be with me?

FCGC

Why don't you come?
Why don't you come?
Why don't you come
and be with me?

And you know,
you know you're giving
when you know
the cost of living

And you know
you know you're living
when you know
that you're giving
