Suzanne Vega

Book & A Cover (from "Tried & True: The Best of Suzanne Vega" album)

 

Book & A Cover (from "Tried & True: The Best of Suzanne Vega" album)


What's that they told you
About a book and a cover?
Don't judge so quickly
Is it too much to remember?
'Cause pictures lie
You know
I'll show
It's so
Just give it one thought

What's that they taught you
To revere a kind of beauty?
To paint on that pretty veneer
And try and hide whatever's dirty?
'Cause faces lie
You'll see
No sympathy
Just give it one thought

Come here and I will whisper true
About the things I know of you
And you will recognize them always
As near to you as breath and bone
So dear to me and yours alone
And I will love you for them always

What's that they tell you
About a book and a cover?
Don't judge so quickly
They'll tell you one thing and then another
But see what lies
Within
Under the skin
Just give it one thought

Come here and I will whisper true
About the things I know of you
And you will recognize them always
As near to you as breath and bone
So dear to me and yours alone
And I will love you for them always

What's that they told you
About a book and a cover?
Is it too much to remember?
'Cause you hear one thing and then another
About a book and a cover
