Mark Heard - I Always Do lyrics

I take the chance, I catch your sudden eye One glance I realize I've got no words But if you'd listen to me, if you'd listen to me If you'd listen you might hear me Fencing with the windmills of my deepest fears Jousting with this armor that I've riveted on And if I'd listen to you, if I'd listen to you If I'd listen I'd be a bit softer than stone I NEVER MEAN TO MENTION THINGS LIKE THAT BUT I ALWAYS DO IT'S NOT LIKE ME TO TIP MY HAND BUT I ALWAYS DO I NEVER MEAN TO FACE THIS LOOKING-GLASS BUT I ALWAYS DO WHEN I FACE YOU I ALWAYS DO I hit the floor suggest we move our feet Good mood seems painted on our fleeting best But if you'd listen to me, if you'd listen to me If you'd listen you might hear me Blowing on a flute carved of hollow bone Some somber tune that seems to suit my taste And if I'd listen to you, if I'd listen to you If I'd listen I'd have fewer lines on my face
