Over your shoulder, please don't mind me |
|
If my eyes have fallen onto your magazine |
|
Oh, I've been watching and wondering |
|
Why your face is changing with every line you read |
|
For all those lines and circles to me a mystery |
|
Eve pulled down the apple and gave a taste to me |
|
If she could it would be wonderful |
|
But my pride is in the way |
|
I cannot read to save my life |
|
I'm so ashamed to say |
|
I live in silence, afraid to speak |
|
Of my life of darkness because I cannot read |
|
For all those lines and circles to me a mystery |
|
Eve pulled down the apple and gave a taste to me |
|
If she could it would be wonderful |
|
Then I wouldn't need someone else's eyes |
|
To see what's in front of me |
|
No one guiding me |
|
It makes me humble to be so green |
|
At what every kid can do when he learns A to Z |
|
For all those lines and circles just frighten me |
|
And I fear that I'll be trampled if you don't reach for me |
|
Before I run I'll have to take a fall |
|
And when I pick myself up so slowly |
|
I'll devour every one of those |
|
Books in the tower of knowledge |
