Underling Songtext
von Cécile McLorin Salvant

You of my life
I have seen no one more blue in my life
And I′ve dreamt the taste of dew on your lips
Many nights of my life

All my dreams are disaster
Underling and her master


True and it's trite
I have fallen into eyes telling lies
And I′ve slept in dingy rooms
Taking trips
Far away from my life

All my dreams are disaster
Underling and her master

I've slept so much that I have huddled into nothing but a mass of flesh
So soft and numb that I can scarcely tell where body ends
And sheets begin
If that's the mattress or my skin
The bin I′m living in


I only sing for those I love
I only sing for one to love
I only sing for one to love
Me, too
