Lyrics

I am a book from the twentieth century
On the top of your bureau drawer
My chapters are a bit out of order now
But if you're patient you can find what you are looking for
I am a rough draft and I am an edit
I am the third time around and I still don't get it
And I was you
In another life that I worked my way through
I spent all my time learning this the hard way
The only way that I know how to
And I'll be damned if I won't pass that on to you
Behold
There is a bookmark on page twenty-seven
'Cause I thought it might remind you
Of something you were going through
And there's a note in the afterword from my worst critic
And I thought that you might understand what he's talking about
When he says that I'm all washed out
And I was you
In another life that I worked my way through
I spent all my time learning this the hard way
The only way that I know how to
And I'll be damned if I won't pass that on to you
Behold
I hope you like the illustrations
I armed my hands with charcoal and drew them myself
I hope you like the binding
It took all my life to get it together so well
Behold
Behold
I am a book from the twentieth century
On the top of your bureau drawer
You can file me away to read later
But I may not be there anymore
