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

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
