L's Song (2016 Version)

I love your nervous fingers

Won't you fumble all night long

But in the morning they are stingers

To rise and stumble on

Down the crooked pavement

The wind rolls my thoughts like a leaf

The brill bell chimes

And fortune smiles with its broken teethAnd the many rivers run

Grateful for the rain

I'd be grateful for one morsel

Of your loving againSummer, restless summer

Won't let sleeping dogs lay

Your bobbed voice

You awaken as time goes by

Don't know, don't know

Don't know, don't know

Thunder's muttered promise

Impatient girl on the scented wind

Your gray eyes starve in the rain

Nearly upon herAnd the many rivers run

Grateful for the rain

I'd be grateful for one morsel

Of your loving again
