Channel - Joe Henry

How can I change the lights

The color of this room

Why can’t this channel find

A kinder afternoon

I feel the fray of every letter

To cross your lips that know no better

Disarray, disarray

I want my story straight

But all the others bend

From wonderous to strange

To beauty at the end

I move along a swaying wire

Your talking drums a perfect choir

To my disarray, disarray, disarray

Each fuzzy word I said

Returns a finer blade

To touch the thought balloon

Of every plan I’ve laid

I know the switch but keep the station

I love you with all due desperation

And disarray, disarray, disarray
