[00:00.00]I Will Write My Book - Joe Henry
[00:19.56]If anybody asks what's new
[00:24.64]I say"not much"
[00:27.69]And it's mostly true
[00:30.57]But when my stars align with you
[00:36.31]Then I will write my book
[00:44.64]I turn my face from all the rage
[00:51.39]Playing on a grim dark stage
[00:58.32]But you've shown me an open page
[01:04.71]And I will write my book
[01:12.58]I have no time for what inclines
[01:16.70]Their rhyme or broken reason
[01:22.06]The world is ruthless shrewdly blind
[01:25.79]My oath to them is treason
[01:33.15]I'd never claim that what I'd heard
[01:38.47]Was the first wave or the last word
[01:44.77]But your heart beneath my hand just stirred
[01:50.79]And I will write my book
[02:41.85]I have no time for what inclines
[02:45.85]Their crimes on every season
[02:51.03]The world is truthless shrewdly kind
[02:55.74]My oath to them is treason
[03:03.40]I have no words to turn the tide
[03:09.67]Lights go out and worlds collide
[03:15.90]But by your candle hopes abide
[03:22.53]And there I'll write my book
[03:30.81]By your candle hopes abide
[03:36.63]And there I'll write my book
