Come, Sir, be seated, Sir, come, Sir, be seated.
Come, Sir, be seated, Sir, come, Sir, be seated.
Answer me one question, if you please.
What secret whispers each and every day?
What secret whispers, a daily hidden way?

I search where skies and horizons cannot meet,
And where the moon has left the heavens, complete,
To linger here, before my very door,
Where understanding blooms, or crumbles to the core.
Understand, and you possess all that there is.
Fail to grasp it, and you’re dust in the abyss.
Answer me one question, if you please.
Come, Sir, be seated, Sir, answer, if you please.
Come, Sir, be seated, Sir, answer, if you please.

What fault was mine that kept you far apart?
What fault was mine that wounded my own heart?
Should I be silent? Should I speak instead?
This moment, precious, quickly will have fled.
From sight to soul, from thirst to deepest plea,
Where understanding blooms, or fails to be.
Understand, and you possess all that there is.
Fail to grasp it, and you’re dust in the abyss.
Answer me one question, if you please.
Come, Sir, be seated, Sir, answer, if you please.
Come, Sir, be seated, Sir, answer, if you please.
