lyrics

Tell Me A Story ( words & music by Abigail Joffe)

Tell me the story that’s written inside your heart
Begin at the end and finish at the start
Tell me how you stole the sigh from my throat
And the careless clack of heels on cobblestones
Tell me your hopes
And all of your dreams
Tell me blossom and fallen leaves

Show me the secret hidden in the pages’ folds
Show me whatever the past and the future hold
Show me how foxes danced as I walked by
Quickstep to the bedroom, cheap red wine
Show me your pleasure
And all of your pain
Show me sweet summer rain

Tell me, tell me, tell me a story
Tell me so I won’t forget
Tell me, tell me, tell me a story
That I won’t regret

Draw me the map that ‘s etched across your palm
Over the Sahara Desert to Shangri La
Draw me a silver bowl of gathered lust
Tangled limbs of dawn, your eyes like dusk

Draw a picture of you
Draw a picture of me
Magnificent naivety
Draw you
Draw me
Magnificent naivety

Lead me through the landscape of your soul
Lead me out of empty into whole
Lead me from the cold in my bones
To the warm light of your copper tones

Lead me through hope
And all of our dreams
Lead me through blossom and fallen leaves

Tell me a story, that's all about us
Tell me a story, that's all abut love
Tell me a story, that's all about us
Tell me a story, that's all abut love
