Common Time - Beatenberg

Try teachin' me love with a circle and a square

Drawn in the sand

Try see from above what you cannot see

From where you stand, mmh-mmh

Try playin' a four part fugue

On a small elastic band

I’m talkin' common time, common time, simple and true

I hear it all the time, in my mind, really I do

I’m talkin' common time, common time, products of two

Common to everyone, common to me and to you

Try blowin' a conch if you’re overwhelmed

With your desire

Try runnin' your scattered thoughts

In a single focused fire

Try showin' a manuscript to a large unruly choir

I’m talkin' common time, common time, simple and true

I hear it all the time, in my mind, really I do

I’m talkin' common time, common time, products of two

Common to everyone, common to me and to you

I’m talkin' common time, common time, simple and true

I hear it all the time, in my mind, really I do

I’m talkin' common time, common time, products of two

Common to everyone, common to me and to you
