Transparent

Compliments Of Gus

I'm sitting in my sitting room

I'd like to stand, but there's nobody listening

I'd like some gum, but it keeps me from whistling

This little tune I wrote



I'm sitting in my little green Humber

I'd like to drive but there's nowhere I'm going

I start to dream that the radio's humming

This little tune I wrote



And as I sing myself to sleep

It's all I can do just to keep you here with me



I kept my dreams transparent from the start

I thought you loved the artist not the art

I know that I promised you the world

Well, it might be coming soon

Yeah, it might be coming soon



I'm sitting in my living room

Try to balance the gigs, the scales, the books and you

Thought I'd write you a song, just to tell you it's true

A song won't change the world but it might change you



And as I sing myself to sleep

It's all I can do just to keep you here with me



I kept my dreams transparent from the start

I thought you loved the artist not the art

I know that I promised you the world

Well, it might be coming soon

Take my hand and walk with me again

Hold me close as we look 'round the bend

Trust me though I don't know where this ends

Well, I pray it ends with you

Well, I pray it ends with you
