lyrics

(say yes)

Thirty-one years and the radio's still broken
We hum whatever we imagine might be on
You put your hand flat on the table in the morning
And I put mine on top and that's the song

Say yes again (say yes)
Same kitchen, no guests, say yes
You'll say I'm being ridiculous, say yes
Say yes

Say yes again, say yes again, say yes again
I've got an eighty-dollar guitar and a bad knee, say yes again
Say yes again, say yes again, say yes again
Nobody's coming, nothing's booked, say yes again

Ninety-six nearly took the whole thing down
I wrote eleven songs and you said put them away
They've been in a drawer for twenty-nine years
And I have never once wanted to disobey

(solo guitar, imperfect)
You asked last year if I still had them. I said yes.
You said "good." That's all. That's the whole marriage.
Some love is a woman refusing to be your material.
(BAND BACK IN)

Say yes again, say yes again, say yes again
I've got an eighty-dollar guitar and a bad knee, say yes again
Say yes again, say yes again, say yes again
Nobody's coming, nothing's booked, say yes again

(say yes...)
