[00:11.169]Been so long since a strange woman has slept in my bed
[00:19.426]Look how sweet she sleeps,how free must be her dreams
[00:26.427]In another lifetime she must have owned the world, or been faithfully wed
[00:32.173]To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlit streams.
[00:38.175]I and I
[00:40.669]In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
[00:46.918]I and I
[00:49.669]One say to the other, no man sees my face and lives.
[01:02.808]Think I'll go out and go for a walk
[01:08.054]Not much happening here, nothing ever does
[01:14.800]Besides, if she wakes up now, she'll just want me to talk
[01:20.304]I got nothing to say, 'specially about whatever was.
[01:26.560]I and I
[01:29.056]In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
[01:35.558]I and I
[01:37.301]One say to the other, no man sees my face and lives.
[01:47.551]Took an untrodden path once, here the swift don't win the race
[01:56.561]It goes to the worthy, who can divide the word of truth
[02:02.809]Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face
[02:08.505]And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
[02:13.509]I and I
[02:16.259]In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
[02:22.748]I and I
[02:25.755]One say to the other, no man sees my face and lives.
[02:32.503]Outside of two men on a train platform there's nobody in sight
[02:50.510]They're waiting for spring to come, smoking down the track
[02:56.754]The world could come to an end tonight, but that's all right
[03:02.257]She should still be there sleeping when I get back.
[03:08.005]I and I
[03:10.502]In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
[03:16.758]I and I
[03:19.672]One say to the other, no man sees my face and lives.
[03:26.672]Noontime, and I'm still pushing myself along the road, the darkest part
[03:43.927]Into the narrow lanes, I can't stumble or stay put
[03:49.929]Someone else is speaking with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart
[03:55.622]I've made shoes for everyone, even you, while I still go barefoot.
[04:01.368]I and I
[04:04.120]In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
[04:10.376]I and I
[04:12.873]One say to the other, no man sees my face and lives.
