Strip It Down

So no more useless words

Said on a wire like birds

So simple, so tender

And then of course the phone rings

I have a silhouette

The sky around my head

We're moving, so moving

To stay as long as ever

A car pulls up outside

A light across the room

I wonder, I wonder

The sun comes up around me

Strip it down

Strip it down

Make it simple

Useless words

No, no more useless words

Said all the wildlife birds

So tender, so simple

I do my best with these things

All noble intentions

And then of course the phone rings

Strip it down, strip it down

Make it simple, useless words
