Naked as a truth
As a liberated youth
(oh)
Uncovered as a newborn baby
As the angel who’s going to take me
(oh)

Open as a wound
As naked as the moon
Shining in a silver blade
Glaring as the sun that fades

Won’t you let me see you
Won’t you let me see you

And your bright side
And your dark side
And inside out
And upside down
Out in plain sight

Naked as the eye that sees
Your long forgotten memories
(oh)
Bare as a craftsman’s hands
Stripped as a one-man band
(oh)

Exposed as a beggar’s feet
Sleeping in the cold damp street
Limpid as the water
in the pictures of the Caribbean

Won’t you let me see you
Won’t you let me see you

And your bright side
And your dark side
And inside out
And upside down
Out in plain sight

Humble as a prayer
Naked as desire
(oh)
Shocking as your self-assurance
Seeking no acceptance
(oh)

Simple as a masterpiece
Picasso’s dove of piece
Pure as the unadorned
Early hours of the morn

Won’t you let me see you
Won’t you let me see you

And your bright side
And your dark side
And inside out
And upside down
Out in plain sight
