Imagine That — текст песни (Ani Difranco)

Imagine that I am onstage

Under a watchtower of punishing light

And in the haze is your face bathed in shadow

And whats beyond you is hidden from sight

And somebody right now is yawning

And watching me like a tv

And Ive been frantically piling up sandbags

Against the flood waters of fatigue and insecurity



Then suddenly I hear my guitar singing

And so I just start singing along

And somewhere in my chest

All the noise just gets crushed by the song



Imagine that Im at your mercy

Imagine that you are at mine

Pretend Ive been standing here

Watching you watching me

All this time

Now imagine that you are the weather

In the tiny snow globe of this song

And I am the statue of liberty

One inch long



So here I am at my most hungry

And here I am at my most full

Here I am waving a red cape

Locking eyes with a bull



Just imagine that I am onstage

Under a watchtower of punishing light

And in the haze is your face bathed in shadow

And whats beyond you is hidden from sight
