Compromise - Indigo Girls

You wear

The cloth

Of finest lands

The touch of women the toil of hands

Undress

Me now

Before i bend

From the weight of everyman

When i’m walking through this world

I need to hold your hand

Let me take you on this ride

I hope you understand

I’m not asking for a compromise

Now you

Defend

Exhume

Begin again

It’s the riddle of a skeleton

We’re all

Diseased

So count the coup

I can’t image stopping you

When i’m walking through this world

I need to hold your hand

Let me take you on this ride

I hope you understand

I’m not asking for a compromise

So the earth

We scorched

We breathe

We find some comfort on our knees

You find

Your worth

In words that wind

Pleasures i don’t comprehend

When i’m walking trough this world

I need to hold your hand

Let me take you on this ride

I hope you understand

I’m not asking for a compromise

Asking for a compro

Asking for a compromise
