"Following Rhymes" live @ Sullivan Hall 2.26.10

Ben Ruttenburg : acoustic guitar, voice
Dan Bindschedler : cello
Alex Sherba : electric guitar
Gabby Sherba : voice

i've been following rhymes through my chest and my head
blindfolded tightly with the sheets from your bed
distracted by metaphors and generally misled
words that sound nice, shouldn't trust what i've said

what's the point of it all?
what am i supposed to do?
is it safe to fall?
i put my trust in you
let me go and let me down
let me smile while you're around
let me feel loved like you couldn't care less
clean it all up just to leave me a mess

i've been guided by rhymes and we walk hand in hand
blazed paths through honesty and into old lands
where love can grow tired when you've asked her to stand
just to knock her back down again and again

what's the point of it all?
what am i supposed to do?
is it safe to fall?
i put my trust in you
let me go and let me down
let me smile while you're around
let me feel loved like you couldn't care less
clean it all up just to leave me a mess
