We Can Talk(Remastered) - The Band

作词：Richard Manuel

作曲：Richard Manuel

We can talk about it now

It's that same old riddle only

starts from the middle

I'd fix it but I don't know how

Well we could try to reason

but you might think it's treason

One voice for all

Echoing

Echoing

Echoing along the hall

Don't give up on father's clock

We can talk about it now

Come let me show you how

To keep the wheels turnin' you got

to keep the engine churnin'

Well did ya ever milk a cow

Milk a cow

Well I had the chance one day but

I was all dressed up for Sunday

Everybody everywhere

Do you really care

Well then pick up your heads and walk

We can talk about it now

It seems to me we've been holding

something

Underneath our tongues

I'm afraid if you ever

got a pat on the back

It would likely burst your lungs

Whoa stop me if I should sound kinda

Down in the mouth

But I'd rather be burned in Canada

Than to freeze here in the South

Pulling that eternal plough

We got to find a sharper blade

or have a new one made

Rest awhile and cool your brow

Don't ya see there's no need to slave

the whip is in the grave

No salt no trance

It's safe now

You know it's safe

To take a backward glance

Because the grains have turned to chow

We can talk about it now

We can talk about it now
