Rusted Pipe - Suzanne Vega

Now the time has come to speak

I was not able

And water through a rusted pipe

Could make the sense that I do

Gurgle, mutter

Hiss, stutter

Moan the words like water

Rush and foam and choke

Having waited

This long of a winter

I fear I only

Croak and sigh

Somewhere deep within

Hear the creak

That lets the tale begin

Now the time has come to move

I was not able

Water through a rusted pipe

Could make the moves that I do

Stagger, stumble

Trip, fumble

I fear I only

Slip and slide

Somewhere deep within

Hear the creak

That lets the tale begin

Somewhere deep within

Hear the creak

That lets the tale begin
