It’s an elusive thing    
This love of which we sing 
What
are we doing, 
What are we doing? 

And I will give
you anything, 
Just please don’t stop singing, 
The
world would stop spinning…

You’re
such a lovely thing 
But there is ice forming 
Upon your
pretty wings 
What are you protecting? 

And I will
give you everything, 
And you can wear this ring, 
But
you only love me, 
you only love me when I’m leaving,

you only love me ‘cause I’m leaving, 
you only love me
when I’m leaving, 
you only love me ‘cause I’m leaving
tonight 

you’ve such a lovely thing, 
but there is
ice for me, 
upon your pretty wings, 
why are you lying?


And I will give you everything 
Just please don’t
stop singing, 
The world would stop spinning

It’s an elusive thing, 
This love
of which we sing, 
What are we doing? 
What are we doing
here? 

And I will give you anything, 
And you can
wear my ring, 
But you only love me, 
You only love me
when I’m leaving, 
You only love me ‘cause I’m leaving,

You only love me ‘cause I’m leaving, 
You only love me
when I’m leaving.

Beggar

Could you give me a small part of yourself
I'm only asking for the tiniest part
Just enough to get me from here to there

Could you give me something
Anything at all
I'll accept whatever it is

Could you just put your hand on my head
Could you brush against my arm
Could you just come near enough
So I could feel as though you might be able to hold me

Could you touch me with your voice
Blow your breath in my direction

Is it all right if I look straight into your face

Could I just walk behind you for a little while
Would you let me follow you at a distance

If I had anything of value I'd gladly give it to you
If there's anything of me you want just take it

But don't think I'm this way with everybody
I almost never come to this
In fact usually it's the other way around

There's lots of people
Who would love to even have a conversation with me
Who even ask me if they can walk behind me

So don't get any ideas that I'm completely alone
Because I'm not

In fact you're the one who looks like you could use a little company

Where do you get off thinking you have anything to give me anyway

I have everything I need
And what I don't have I know where to get it
Any time I want

In the middle of the night
In the middle of the afternoon
Five o'clock in the morning

In fact I'm wasting my time right now
Just talking to you

Hums
A capella, melody line only
no words

"I'm in the mood for love"
