Over The Rhine I Don't Wanna Waste Your Time Lyrics

I don?t wanna waste your time
With music you don?t need
Why should I autograph the book
That you won?t even read

I got a different scar for every song
And blood left still to bleed
But I don?t wanna waste your time
With music you don?t need

I don?t wanna waste good wine
If you won?t stick around
I love to laugh but I?m more than just
Your alcoholic clown

I won?t pray this prayer with you
Unless we both kneel down
'Cause I don?t wanna waste good wine If you won?t stick around

So, come on lighten up
Let me fill your cup
I?m just trying to imagine a situation
Oh, where we might have a real conversation, oh

But I don?t wanna waste the words
That you don?t seem to need
When it comes to wanting what?s real
There?s no such thing as greed

I hope this night puts down deep roots
I hope we plant a seed
?Cause I don?t wanna waste your time
With music you don?t need, oh
