Sing Anything

A love song from a surrealist hillbilly - Meet me in the spring when all this shivering is done I'll hope to catch a passing song and sing it til it's gone I got some I swear come from before the sea turned blue And some I got for everyone, but this here's just for you I sat me on a rooftop 'neath a thumping Grecian sun Whole lotta nothing else around and people not a one The ocean was a flock of birds, their silver wings at play The air stared right at me, and I heard the summer say: Sing Anything, Sing Anything Sing about snow and a diamond ring The wolf don't howl, the bee don't sting Baby, when I hear you sing The moon smeared silver fingers on the belly of a cloud Brown hair & a pair of spotlight eyes came shining through the crowd A fistful of pearls came smiling out and knocked me down the hill I never did get back up, and I guess now I never will Start me talking honey, I'll tell everything I know And send out words to keep you warm most everywhere you go Cuz I wanna be your lover, I dont wanna be your friend So shut me up with kisses and I'll never speak again But I'll Sing Anything, sing anything About all the gifts that poets bring Winter warms the hand of spring, Baby when I hear you... Sing anything, sing anything about hands and the devil and a pigfaced king I dance on the end of a butterfly wing Baby when I hear you sing Sing a song of trainsmoke and a pocketful of sand to pull away my aching brain and hold it in your hand pinch me with a high up note and make the air go thin hold on tight, and twist your wrist, and rob me of my skin A song is like the feather of a spunglass nightingale lure it with your dream and catch it in a trumpet bell feed it with a word of grace, the colour of a tune and sing it with a voice to throw a rope around the moon She took me to her hometown cus I had to meet the chief And i was whistling and a-babbling and she don't get no relief so they threw me in the hound pound thinking what I done was wrong but I struck me up a chord and we was howling all night long I chased her through a storybook, I chased her through the dawn I chased her through a painting of the world just hanging on I said "I just wanna talk", and man she wasn't too convinced She shut me up with kisses and I ain't said one word since But I'll sing anything, sing anything elbow grease and a rusted spring jesus sittin' on a old rope swing says he wants to hear you sing anything, sing anything in a pillowfeather yodel and a tungsten fling hear my heart is chuckling baby, when I hear you sing Words & Music by JB Newman Copyright JB Newman 2007
