reeds at my thighs
and burrs on my shoes
wandering with you
round a reservoir
now in my repertoire
now you are
the stars aren’t that bright
not tonight, not with these
city lights
and you’re walking fast
but i won’t ask to make it last, make it last
if this were a wishing well
i’d wear a diving bell to bring you the coins
the handful that i’d thrown in
you looked away
i slipped from my second skin
i’dve liked to kiss you
just to try but then i’dve
to lie to say you
were the only one that day
yeah i know how it sounds
but it comes and goes in rounds
maybe you could come and stay
or maybe it’s me that has to say
if this were a wishing well
i’d wear a diving bell to bring you the coins
the handful that i’d thrown in
you looked away
i slipped from my second skin
in front of geese and god
i could not find a thought to voice
we talked of finding ways
to spell the phrase
needed for a song like it’s a choice
if this were a wishing well
i’d wear a diving bell to bring you the coins
the handful that i’d thrown in
you looked away
i slipped from my second skin

Just pure Levi and guitar. Full band is great but there is just something about his voice. When his songs are distilled down to just him and the guitar, you can really feel all he puts into them. Chris Maggart
