Black and red-flowered strap 'cross your neck
My how your heart has songs in it
When will you shine your light on me?
If not in this life, the next one, maybe

I might fit perfectly in your arms
Just like that road-weary old guitar
When will you shine your light on me?
If not in this life, the next one, maybe

Your soul comes out on gilded wings
From some dusty place behind the strings

Black and red-flowered strap 'cross your neck
My how your mouth has songs in it
When will you shine your light on me?
If not in this life, the next one, maybe
If not in this life, the next one, maybe
If not in this life, the next one, maybe
