"One Wink At A Time" lyrics

"One Wink At A Time"

He said, "Walk, but only walk to me"
He said, "Sing, but only sing for me"
I was a ghost walking 'round, feeling it out
Left my chains where they fell
I walked free

Someone else's dad and me
Not you
Not you

Broke my heart until it opened
I let the whole world inside
I'm open to attention, open to affection
Just one wink at a time

Been standing in the dark
Been watching from afar

Been staring at you for a while
A while
At you
At you

I thought God was a man
Oh, I was so wrong about that
Lay me down on my back and tell me
I've finally been caught
Staring at you for a while
A while

It's you
It's you
Baby blue
It's you
