Naked As A Window Tab

by Josh Ritter


I'm not sure what key the song is in, but this works anyway.

                                           
How hard for the covers to be pulled from their slumbers,
                              
but a ghost never gives up its sheet.
                                                           
Tell me, is it the same for the rattling chains or whatever you wear when 
     
you sleep?
                                                       
You remember the time that I told you to take off your clothes?
                  
You were naked as a window.
                                                     
But I'll take all that nothing over nothing at all.
                                  
I'm just a hallway for ceilings and walls, babe
                         
and emptiness all the way through.
                                             
You know you're asking too much to be held and not touched,
                               
but somehow that's just what you do.
                                                       
You remember the time that I told you to take off your clothes?
                 
You were naked as a window
                                                     
But I'd take all that nothing over nothing at all.
                                                         
Yeah I'd take all that nothing over nothing, over nothing at all.
