Burn Your Books & Join My Life - The Ruth Ellis Swing Band

Rands reads on as I patiently wait

I feel alone while to herself she narrates

Will she ever close that book and take just one look

One little peek into my life

I run out most hurriedly as she sits quietly

Hoping she may notice me and then suddenly

Burn her books and join my life

I sit so silently without a sound

As she looks through pages from paperbacks to leatherbound

I hear the constant ruffle of pages

But all I hope is she takes a peek into my life

I run out most hurriedly as she sits quietly

Hoping she may notice me and then suddenly

Burn her books and join my life

Burn her books and join my life
