Pete Brown & Piblokto! - If They Could Only See Me Now Parts I & II lyrics

If they could only see me now Mop the sweat from my successful brow If they could only see my face Taste the riches in my hiding place If they could only catch me up Drink the dregs from my gold plated cup If they could only watch me grow Catch the trickle from my overflow Heartbreaker – counting coins in the bedroom Breadmaker – running lives through my fingers If they could only pick my brain Find the licks that drive the chicks insane If they could only get the knack Of putting fillings back into the crack In the pieces of time they give to me I'm sitting on the shelf In the corners of sky they let me be Knowing I'm by myself In the corners of time they let me be Knowing I'm all alone In the pieces of sky they give to me Know that I'm on my own O when the wagons frown the laughter drowns That's when I find time O when the lights are low I have to show That time is all mine In the corners of time they let me be Knowing I'm all alone In the pieces of sky they give to me Knowing I'm on my own …Knowing I'm on my own
