lyrics

Fortune teller come and read my mind Well I can play the part but I can't write the lines Sound the whistle for my curtain call Stand me up and put my back up against the wall Oh and all the lies you been telling me When you run your fingers up my hands, Underneath my sleeve I can tell you're trying to tell me where to go But you've been telling lies since a long time ago Fortune teller come and lead my way I'll meet you in the city by that old cafe You know the one where the streets were never paved The lights are always dim and they always draw the shades Oh and all the lies you been telling me When you run your fingers up my hands, Underneath my sleeve I can tell you're trying to tell me where to go But you've been telling lies since a long time ago Oh won't you come to see Just what you've done to me Well you can see my lines run deep You come to watch me bleed again Fortune teller, my eyes been blind As long as I remember in a long lifeline Now underneath the sun by the ocean I will stand But you come with the clouds laying shadows on my sand Oh and all the lies you been telling me When you run your fingers up my hands, Underneath my sleeve I can tell you're trying to tell me where to go But you've been telling lies since a long time ago Fortune teller, please rest assured
It's probably just a rumor, but the last I heard You have a reputation spreading poison as your words You lead them down the wrong way and burn them in the third Oh and all the lies you been telling me When you run your fingers up my hands, Underneath my sleeve I can tell you're trying to tell me where to go But you've been telling lies since a long time ago Oh won't you come to see Just what you've done to me Well you can see my lines run deep You've come to watch me bleed again Fortune teller, your war's been won You flanked me with your trickery and tied my guns Now I'm in the valley where I seldom see the sun And you, my friend were always a phantom on the run

Josh Ward Taylor New York, New York

Taylor is one of many contemporary singer-songwriters who plants one foot firmly in the roots of artists such as Bob Dylan and Neil Young while at the same time pushing forward with his own unique voice. And Taylor’s particular voice so imbued with a sense of honesty and earnestness that it is almost impossible not to welcome each of his songs with open arms.-American Songwriter ... more
