Whatever You Say

Over the Rhine

in this dream it is as easy as it seems I put you away at the end of the day in this dream there are two hands untangling the knots in my throat but they won't go away
 
so what about you whatever you say why can't it be true whatever you say
 
but this is no dream you are the deaf ear listening I know what it means to be seen and not heard it's no dream you are the blinded eye observing open my mouth you can finger your way to the words
 
i'm talkin' 'bout you whatever you say why can't it be true whatever you say
 
there are some things I must let go I must let go I must let them go just keep on tellin' me I told you so I know I know I know I know...
 
whatever you say
 
I fall into bed the whole horizon's turning red writing our names with a needle and a thread stitching the clouds as if the wounded sky had bled all of these words that will never be said
 
without you whatever you say why can't it be true whatever you say
