The Songwriter

The Songwriter - Father John Misty

Composer：Joshua Tillman

What would it sound like

If you were the songwriter

And you made your living off of me

Would you detail your near-constant consternation

Or the way my very presence

Makes your muses up and flee

Goodbye little songbird

I can leave

Goodbye my love

Is there anything else you need

What would it sound like

If you were the songwriter

And you did your living around me

Would you undress me repeatedly in public

To show how very noble

And naked you can be

Goodbye little songbird

Now you're free

Don't forget I'm the only fan of yours

Who has the sense to ever leave you be

How could you do this to me

What would it sound like

If you were the songwriter

And loving me was your unsung masterpiece
