300 Nights

Glenn Richards / Augie March

All my debt to you
All my pleasure in pain
Dimwit I was
Dimmer I'll be
Dim all the lights and we'll see what we see
I am music, a song made for playing

These dumb little notes
Are wounds in my back
Speak silent all night
of the coming attack

Brutes with no vigour
and towns with no past
whose founders, whose fingers
did hold the knife fast...
Carve out a course for us

Come round here all the time
You don't know what you're saying
I know it's in the working
Never in the playing

Come around there all the time
You don't know what you're saying
I know it's in the ...
Never in the playing

All my debt to you
All my pleasure in pain
Three hundred nights like three hundred walls
Must rise between my love and me

Now I see all the black hearts between us
