Forthright Lyrics - Vic Chesnutt

Looking in the hourglass 

Ants in the sand 

Reflected in the oil lamp 

I can see the wrinkles in your hand 

You can be forthright with me 

You can be forthright with me 

Next to the pot-bellied stove 

Hand on the flue 

Photograph on the rolltop desk 

Is it of you 

You can be forthright with me 

You can be forthright with me 

Half a pound of hominy 

Soaking in a wooden bowl 

Underneath the cheesecloth 

In the safehold 

You can be forthright with me 

You can be forthright with me
