You know how to play me

You know how to play me
blow deep blue notes into my belly
lightly touch my highest strings
make me tremble

You know how to play me,
you know how to play me.

Turn your face like a spinning coin
touch my waist just where I'm small and breaking
linger when you say goodbye–

You know how to play me, 
you know how to play me.

Never let me see (past) your eyes.
Trade in shadows and overcoats.
Say much less than it seems.

You know how to play me,
you know how to play me.

Keep me circling the sun,
unable to realize the clouds have come,
and think I was the only one:

You know how to play me,
you know how to play me,
you know how to play me.
