Alibi

I Never put by silver I never put by silver For the boatman's fare And I Am a wayward sailor I'm a wayward sailor With a guilty stare I've been looking for an alibi I've been keeping you in mind I've failed at gold and guile And bibles never stood a chance in hell But in your eyes I see the light this time You Are a pool of lamplight A kiss at midnight On a gated lawn Your voice Is candied moonlight A sparrow's first flight In the early dawn I've been looking for an alibi I've been keeping you in mind I've failed at gold and guile And bibles never stood a chance in hell But in your eyes I see the light this time I Am a drug store novel The plot's just awful But the heart is true I will kill every monster And the evil wizard To stand next to you I've been looking for an alibi I've been keeping you in mind I've failed at gold and guile But when they see me standing by your side I swear they'll find me innocent this time I I never put by silver never put by silver But I'll come with pearls
