Why don't you be the artist, and make me out of clay? Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say? 'Cause I'd rather pretend I'll still be there at the end Only it's too hard to ask, won't you try to help me You wait, I wait, casting shadows,

I would rather to be buried In some cypress grove Six feet in the clay I will drink muddy water I'm gonna sing this song Have a contrary woman Lord, that I can't control And when yo' knee-bones get shaky Honey, and your blood run cold

It took all the man in me To be the dog you wanted me to be Yeah let him feast my heart is big My heart is big, my blood will slide Head in the sand, feet in the clay And time is still like grease it slips Yes shall we take a spin again in business This

I will be your love (I'll be your lover) You be love Love you like no other (I'll be your lover) I'll be the song You can be the sunlight I'll be the dawn I'll be your all You can be the potter I'll be the clay
