From the recording Disappoint the Elements
Lyrics
Spend My Time
If my thimble finger’s weak
You can take my dime-store ink
And sail me a boat
Or whiten my winter coat
If my wailing wall falls down
You can take my prayers to town
Or mail them off to China
There’s plenty of wall there
You got me thinkin’ it’s alright
To spend my time with you
You got me thinkin’ it’s alright
To spend my time with you
If your Mary Jane won’t dance
You can take my calloused hand
And sharpen your covered toes
Take the waist of my finest clothes
When you’re finally on the strait
I’ll jump past your guarded gait
Remind you of the blue skies
Or just blow off the roof
You got me thinkin’ it’s alright
To spend my time with you
You got me thinkin’ it’s alright
To spend my time with you
Take my hand now
