Forthright Songtext / Lyric

Looking in the hourglass

Ants in the sand

Reflected in the oil lamp

I can see the wrinkles in your hand

You can be forthright with me

You can be forthright with me

Next to the pot-bellied stove

Hand on the flue

Photograph on the rolltop desk

Is it of you

You can be forthright with me

You can be forthright with me

Half a pound of hominy

Soaking in a wooden bowl

Underneath the cheesecloth

In the safehold

You can be forthright with me

You can be forthright with me
