Beatenberg - Common Time Lyrics

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 burnin' your scattered thoughts in a single focused fire, mmh-mmh
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
