Spoken Song
Longmire, 2009
 

      D7             A
It's not a time for measured words
     D7              A
Or choosing phrases carefully
    D7             A
Or taking time to be too sure
         Bm7           E7
   When cadence is the key

    D7           A
I'm listening to every breath
      D7            A
And rhythm grows as we begin
    D7             A
To harmonize our sweet duet
        Bm7             E7
   And find it deep within


My song is searching, probing deep
To find the pathway to your heart
And then I recognize that sweet
   Beginning as we start

I sing to you in spoken tones
For now I know just what to do
To reach the marrow in your bones
   And find my way to you

And now we turn the volume up
And let the steady tempo go
And spill the water from the cup
   And all she says is, "Oh"

And oh that voice I love to hear
Coming from that place I know
It's deep and loud and strong and clear
   And all she says is, "Oh"

[Instr]

And then repeating twice again
   And all she says is, "Oh"
