Plain Speech - Ava Luna

Plain speech at the top of the red house

Plain speech, lit shoes at the courtyard

Plain speech, a pusher on a platform

Plain speech

The voice of the vendor at the bike shop

«Throw the tire on the dish»

You, you helped me onto the fixie

And you, you held your arms to the sides

And just for a moment, just for a moment

I stopped the aching muscle from to carry me away

But not with this body, not with this body

I got a date in Austin with a friend from the bay

Well it’s in my nature

To sit and watch the folding bridge

Well it’s in my nature

To reach my arms across the ridge

Now I know, now I know

And after I saw you by the bike shop

You touched your thumb to my cheek

And I carried, I carried back to the railing

And you, you pedaled off to the east

And just for a moment, just for a moment

I stopped the aching muscle from to carry me away

But not with this body, not with this body

I know that I am leaving but just hold me for a moment

Just for a moment (just for a moment)

Just for a moment

I stopped the aching muscle from to carry me away

But not with this body, not with this body

'Cause I know, 'cause I know
