A Mind Such As Mine

Words & Music: Chris Malme
Inspired by the motion picture "The Silence of the Lambs"

Bless you, my child, you brought me your secrets,
Just as the boredom was driving me into decline.
You came to me with a story to tell,
Oh what a wonderful prize to a mind such as mine.

Bless you, my child, you brought me a promise,
A room with view, an escape from these bare walls so fine,
And though you were lying, I bore you no ill,
For dreams can be built upon lies by a mind such as mine.

    And I will call you Clarisse,
    And you will call me, in time.
    Yes, you will call me, in time.

Bless you, my child, you brought me your innocence.
You came to see me as more than the sum of my crimes,
And just for a moment I saw that you cared,
Oh what a precious surprise to a mind such as mine.

    And I will wish you sweet dreams
    Amongst the silence of the lambs,
    Amongst the silence of the lambs.

Bless you, my child, you brought me your secrets.
You told me your tale in the hope that I might tell you mine.
And maybe one day you will see me again,
Life's an eternal surprise with a mind such as mine.
