Written/Unread Lyrics
Everything that goes on in the pages of our book
Between the covers, brown-paper-wrapped
Hidden in the stacks among the monthlies
Old news and rags and paperbacks
That's the way we like it
Dusty and away
When everyone is gone
We brush ourselves off and play
Well-written and happily unread
Your plain-spoken love
My obsessions
Your thing for jazz
My thing for ghosts
Your challenging musical library
My challenging sense of harmony
The way you stand, the way you hold your head
The way I hold your hand, any chance I get
This stuff used to scare me
Our unpredicted flights
But now I'm into it
Because when everyone is gone
We brush ourselves off and dance
I dust off your spine, you dust off mine
Written, unread
I dust off yours, you dust off mine
Well-written and happily
Between the covers, brown-paper-wrapped
Hidden in the stacks among the monthlies
Old news and rags and paperbacks
That's the way we like it
Dusty and away
When everyone is gone
We brush ourselves off and play
Well-written and happily unread
Your plain-spoken love
My obsessions
Your thing for jazz
My thing for ghosts
Your challenging musical library
My challenging sense of harmony
The way you stand, the way you hold your head
The way I hold your hand, any chance I get
Our unpredicted flights
But now I'm into it
Because when everyone is gone
We brush ourselves off and dance
I dust off your spine, you dust off mine
Written, unread
I dust off yours, you dust off mine
Well-written and happily
