[00:00.77]I And I
[00:03.26]
[00:17.21]Been so long since a strange woman has slept in my bed
[00:21.76]Look how sweet she sleeps, how free must be her dreams
[00:27.42]In another lifetime she must have owned the world, or been faithfully wed
[00:32.71]To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlit streams
[00:37.70]
[00:40.01]I and I
[00:42.25]In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives
[00:48.81]I and I
[00:52.57]One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
[00:55.39]
[01:00.31]Think I’ll go out and go for a walk
[01:09.65]Not much happenin’ here, nothin’ ever does
[01:15.67]Besides, if she wakes up now, she’ll just want me to talk
[01:21.64]I got nothin’ to say, ’specially about whatever was
[01:24.90]
[01:27.35]I and I
[01:30.00]In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives
[01:37.46]I and I
[01:40.02]One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
[01:42.76]
[01:51.83]Took an untrodden path once, where the swift don’t win the race
[01:58.49]It goes to the worthy, who can divide the word of truth
[02:10.59]Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice’s beautiful face
[02:11.52]And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
[02:14.93]
[02:15.21]I and I
[02:17.49]In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives
[02:25.02]I and I
[02:26.50]One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
[02:31.40]
[02:48.29]Outside of two men on a train platform there’s nobody in sight
[02:50.79]They’re waiting for spring to come, smoking down the track
[02:57.40]The world could come to an end tonight, but that’s all right
[03:02.98]She should still be there sleepin’ when I get back
[03:06.34]
[03:08.59]I and I
[03:15.30]In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives
[03:17.95]I and I
[03:20.72]One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
[03:25.39]
[03:40.44]Noontime, and I’m still pushin’ myself along the road, the darkest part
[03:44.73]Into the narrow lanes, I can’t stumble or stay put
[03:50.44]Someone else is speakin’ with my mouth, but I’m listening only to my heart
[03:56.99]I’ve made shoes for everyone, even you, while I still go barefoot
[04:00.80]
[04:02.00]I and I
[04:06.15]In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives
[04:10.69]I and I
[04:14.18]One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
