Rusted Pipe - Lyrics by Suzanne Vega


Lyrics
Now the time has come to speak
I was not able

And water through a rusted pipe

Could make the sense that I do


Gurgle, mutter

Hiss, stutter

Moan the words like water

Rush and foam and choke


Having waited

This long of a winter
I fear I only

Croak and sigh


Somewhere deep within

Hear the creak

That lets the tale begin


Now the time has come to move
I was not able

Water through a rusted pipe

Could make the moves that I do


Stagger, stumble

Trip, fumble
I fear I only

Slip and slide


Somewhere deep within

Hear the creak

That lets the tale begin


Somewhere deep within

Hear the creak

That lets the tale begin
