about

If I leave a wide margin, if I choose a readable font.

lyrics

If I hunt for dinner, if I chop some wood
If I look for water, if I clean up real good
If I set the table, put on some Miles Davis
If I fold the napkins, up into the shape of a swan

If I sing softly, if I get it right
If I sign my name, if it stays light
If I write it down on paper, if I say just what you want
If I leave a wide margin, if I choose a readable font

If I hunt for dinner, if I change my name
If I look for water, if I take the blame
If I set the table, put on some Shirley Horn
If I fold the napkins, up into the shape of a man

The waterline is rising higher
The temperature is going down

If I hunt for dinner, if I chop some wood
If I look for water, if I clean up real good
If I set the table, put on some Chet Baker
If I fold the napkins, up into the shape of a horn

The waterline is rising higher, the temperature is going down
The altitude is going down, the acceleration is going down,
the tempo is going down
