I Always Do

I take the chance, I catch your sudden eye
 One glance I realize I've got no words
 But if you'd listen to me, if you'd listen to me
 If you'd listen you might hear me
 Fencing with the windmills of my deepest fears
 Jousting with this armor that I've riveted on
 And if I'd listen to you, if I'd listen to you
 If I'd listen I'd be a bit softer than stone
 I never mean to mention things like that
 But I always do
 It's not like me to tip my hand
 But I always do
 I never mean to face this looking-glass
 But I always do
 When I face you I always do
 I hit the floor suggest we move our feet
 Good mood seems painted on our fleeting best
 But if you'd listen to me, if you'd listen to me
 If you'd listen you might hear me
 Blowing on a flute carved of hollow bone
 Some somber tune that seems to suit my taste
 And if I'd listen to you, if I'd listen to you
 If I'd listen I'd have fewer lines on my face
