[03:14.80][00:10.67]What’s that they told you
[03:17.79][00:13.36]About a book & a cover?
[00:18.14]Don’t judge so quickly,
[03:25.46][00:21.10]Is it too much too remember?
[00:24.12]’cause pictures lie,
[00:27.11]You know.
[00:29.95]I’ll show
[00:31.17]It’s so.
[00:32.10]Just give it one thought.
[00:41.61]What’s that they taught you?
[00:44.75]To revere a kind of beauty?
[00:49.32]To paint on that pretty veneer
[00:52.52]And try to hide whatever’s dirty?
[00:55.45]Well, faces lie.
[00:58.23]You’ll see
[01:01.19]No sympathy.
[01:03.28]Just give it one thought.
[02:29.78][01:13.09]Come here and i will whisper true
[02:33.61][01:16.94]About the things i know of you,
[02:37.55][01:20.71]And you will recognize them,
[02:41.05][01:24.21]Always...
[02:45.38][01:28.78]As near to you as breath and bone,
[02:49.24][01:32.52]So dear to me, and yours alone,
[02:53.13][01:36.43]And i will love you for them,
[02:56.56][01:39.97]Always...
[01:57.93]What’s that they tell you
[02:00.79]About a book & a cover?
[02:05.52]Don’t judge so quickly.
[02:08.48]They’ll tell you one thing and then another.
[02:11.50]But see what lies
[02:14.65]Within,
[02:17.24]Under the skin.
[02:19.42]Just give it one thought.
