Manuscript Song Lyrics

I could never quite decide

Between left, right and straight

The signal says that I'm late

But your lateness is no burden

The feeling is alive

It's just the tone that's not right

I've swallowed my tongue so many times

Feeling that lateness

Was some sort of burden

Hey there holy rose softly calling

Go on with your manuscript song

See that when you come back...

When you come back bring me too

You're standing in corners

With your marionettes' shy

You midnight brow

Your Lorca and Rimbaud

You'd never be caught checking your coat

But honey there's something,

Something in the light

That somehow you saw in me

Like the dawn's first daring

Hey there holy rose, softly calling

You're gone off and you're married now

So when you're gone you wont be forgotten

Someone to hold you when you fall

I want someone to hold me when I fall

Trying to find my own way

Through the crowded line

You know paths are a jungle

And the route's undefined

Thank god, timing is no measure

I wanted to be Hemingway

In my younger days

But I got a fire in mind

That makes me stray on

Thank god timing's no measure

Hey there holy rose softly calling

Go on with your manuscript song

See that when you come back...

When you come back bring me too

Bring me too, bring me through

Trying to make the decision of a lifetime

You know you don't make it

You know it makes you

When you run out

And there's no room to be clever

But I won't decide what I miss the most

Till my head's on my knees

And I'm dreaming of the coast

And yeah, there's no room to be clever

Hey there holy rose softly calling

Go on with your manuscript song

See that when you come back...

When you come back bring me too

Travelling light

Bring me too
