Ani Difranco - Loom lyrics

you've always got those dark sungla**es covering up your face but if you promise to take them off i promise i won't squander your gaze i will be picturesque i will be nice i won't do anything you can't tell your wife i will think before i act i will think twice just let me see your eyes each time we spoke you put in a token ran? the tilt-a-whirl when i was giggling and dizzy flirting like a 12 year old girl the carnival of you and me was coming to town watch how we spin and stop and then fall down now we just say hello and head for firmer ground you are the one-way gla** that watches me standing in line at the bank i always looked into your gla**es like a cat looks into a fish tank but all i could ever see was the specter of me reflected i'm on a monument of friendship that we never had erected i wanted to take up lots of room i wanted to loom you always got those dark sungla**es between us when we talk after the party is over if you wanna take a walk we could just look around not to nothing wrong just try to be at least as brave as our songs i will bring my heart i will bring my face you just name the time and place
