James
Lyrics by: Carly Simon
Music by: Carly Simon & Mike Mainieri
James
Your voice is like the water
When I lift this shell to my ear
I can hear you pouring out your heart to me
James
The beauty of your voice
Lifts us from sadness
James
Let us become like water together
Sing to me
Sit on the edge of my bed as when we
First spent nights together
Your body wrapped around your guitar
Let the music speak for your heart
Let them combine like water and sand
Let them meet the air like drops of rain
And bring us together
Once again
Jerry Grossman: Cello
Tony Levin: Electric fretless bass
Mike Mainieri: Acoustic piano, Yamaha CP30
Rick Marotta: Drums
