Morrissey Mute Witness Lyrics

Mute Witness Lyrics

Your poor witness
 crying so loudly on the floor
 oh but she's only trying to tell you
 what it was that she saw
 she is only trying to tell you
 what it was that she saw
 Now see her standing on the table
 with her small arms flailing
 and you feel such compassion
 in your soul for
 Your poor mute witness
 still testing the strength
 of our patience
 oh but she's only trying to tell you
 what it was that she saw
 Now see her pointing to the frisbee
 with a memory too fuzzy
 as her silent words
 describe the fright of last night
 4 a.m. Norhtside, Clapham Common
 who knows what she was doing there?
 will she sketch the answer later?
 Well, I'll ask her
 "now dry your tears, my dear"
 Now see her mime in time so nicely
 it would all have been so clear
 is only she had never volunteered
 "your taxi is here, my dear"
