Lyrics
[Verse 1] Been years since a strange woman has slept in my bed Look how sweet she sleeps, how free must be her dreams In another lifetime she must've owned the world or been faithfully wed To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlit streams [Chorus] I and I In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives [Verse 2] Think I’ll go out and go for a walk Not much happening, I got someone to see Besides, if she wakes up now, she’ll just want me to talk I got nothing to say, 'specially about what could or could not be [Chorus] I and I In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives [Verse 3] I took an untrodden path once, where the swift didn't win the race It went to the worthy, who could divide the word of truth Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice’s face And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth [Chorus] I and I In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives [Verse 4] Outside of two men on a train platform, there’s nobody in sight They’re waiting for spring to come, smoking down the track The world could come to an end tonight, but that’s all right She should still be there sleepin’ when I get back [Chorus] I and I In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives [Verse 5] Well, it's noontime and I’m still pushing myself along the road on the darkest part Into the narrow lanes, I can’t stumble or stay put Somebody else is speaking with my mouth, but I’m listening only to my heart I’ve made shoes for everyone, even you, while I still go barefoot [Chorus] I and I In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
