Testo Measures & Scales - Jill Barber
Testo della canzone Measures & Scales (Jill Barber), tratta dall'album Oh Heart
He plays piano in a jazz band
And I love him for the man that he could be
I asked him, "If I let you, would you play me?"
Then delighted as he tickled every key
And he could feel the ivory skin beneath his fingertips
And I would watch the notes fall one by one from his lips
And he could snap his fingers to the beat
Of my heart, but he couldn't feel the heat
And I want to be like lovers in an old romantic song
Where the music fades away before the love, it can't go wrong
But I am just a dreamer wearing sensible shoes
And I still dream in color even though I sing the blues
And he is playing scales up and down me
As we sing our tales of hope in perfect harmony
I measure out our love by the length of the song
But it disappears somewhere when the music is gone
Every song ever written has a final note
And I've signed my name below every letter that I wrote
And lovers who part give a final kiss
Now, I know it's not the player, but the music that I miss
He plays piano in a jazz band
And I love him for the man that he could be
I asked him, "If I let you, would you play me
A song that will play forever on?"
Oh, but I am just a dreamer wearing sensible shoes
And I still dream in color even though I sing the blues
And I want to be like lovers in an old romantic song
Where the music fades away before the love, it can't go wrong
