Lyrics

tell me this pen can write all the words you want to hear
these fingers will go to pick it up
tell me of a magic tea with leaves as fine as hair
I'll bring some in a porcelain cup

tell me of the garden path that leads to happiness
I'll lay each & every stone for you
tell me about the things that fill you with duress
I'll fight them off if you tell me to

and when the rain chases us into the closest restaurant
we'll stand there dripping studying the a la carte
the steam is rising off of us and off the brimming coffee cups
I'll take your hand & lead you to the warmest part

everything I can think to say, everything I try to play
everything I want to feel, makes me think of you
everything that I love to smell, the music that I love so well
everything I long to touch, makes me think of you

tell me this car can get you to the place you'd rather be
I'll fill it up & drive you there
tell me you'd like to live in a village by the sea
I'll build a home for us to share

tell me your life is feeling all rusty & abused
I'll bring you to my bodyshop
tell me when you're feeling down or empty or misused
My love for you will fill you up & never stop

and when the sun chases us into the nearest restaurant
we'll find one with an awning on a quiet street
we smile at smiles in our eyes & watch the people passing by
through good & bad we know that we were meant to meet

everything...

tell me about the angels that you've met along the way
I'll do my best to bring them here
tell me when you feel unsure & you need your walking cane
I'll be the arm that gets you there
