Across the Bow Lyrics

A bended ear can still avoid a call to regard
My brains on furlough with the noise
suggestions are priceless
who is he all sparkling
blithe and pleasant
a suitor for you
time and tide have waited
and woken up berated
however this may look to you
influencing your attitude
there comes a point where you don't rewrite
if a message can be clear
and a conversation can be steered
i want you to make it tonight
a red divan next to the window
in a pacific ocean hotel
the sun is rising with their heartbeats
the floor is littered with bedsheets
all it takes
a second to change
write if you still care
and tell me how the elimination fumbles into place
and druthers are obvious a centerfold fate
hold your right hand to your heart
and tell me without looking off
a pledge of faith in any one thing
I am always asking you
what would making you happier
and dead air is the offering you burn
joining all the crippled souls
who sitting on their rusty thrones
are begging you to lay aside
i see you in a battle dance
with the ghost of every chance
in the spyglass circle now
and firing shots across the bow
