lyrics
You’re an open book
With some pages torn
Stitched onto a spine so gently worn
And the hands that hold the binding,
That once shuttered closed and shook,
Invite me in like an open book
Chorus:
And I never have to read between the lines
The story’s your's, and your's is mine
Waiting patient on the dusty shelves of time
With all this love to find
Given the choice to look,
Spilling from your heart like an open book
You’re an open book
And when I’ve lost my way
Searching my pages for words to say
You offer up your poetry
With the ease of a single look
And guide me back like an open book
And I never have to read between the lines
The story’s your's and your's is mine
Waiting patient on the dusty shelves of time
With all this love to find
Given the choice to look,
Spilling from our hearts like an open book
In all those years we kept the cover closed,
So fearful of what might be exposed,
I was blindly hoping…
Barely coping…
With these words unspoken
Wanting to be opened, to be opened
(lead break)
We never have to read between the lines
My story’s your's and your's is mine
Until we’re placed up on the dusty shelves of time
With all this love to find,
Given the choice to look,
Spilling from our hearts like an open book,
Spilling from our hearts like an open book
With some pages torn
Stitched onto a spine so gently worn
And the hands that hold the binding,
That once shuttered closed and shook,
Invite me in like an open book
Chorus:
And I never have to read between the lines
The story’s your's, and your's is mine
Waiting patient on the dusty shelves of time
With all this love to find
Given the choice to look,
Spilling from your heart like an open book
You’re an open book
And when I’ve lost my way
Searching my pages for words to say
You offer up your poetry
With the ease of a single look
And guide me back like an open book
And I never have to read between the lines
The story’s your's and your's is mine
Waiting patient on the dusty shelves of time
With all this love to find
Given the choice to look,
Spilling from our hearts like an open book
In all those years we kept the cover closed,
So fearful of what might be exposed,
I was blindly hoping…
Barely coping…
With these words unspoken
Wanting to be opened, to be opened
(lead break)
We never have to read between the lines
My story’s your's and your's is mine
Until we’re placed up on the dusty shelves of time
With all this love to find,
Given the choice to look,
Spilling from our hearts like an open book,
Spilling from our hearts like an open book

about
Ric Allendorf Middleborough, Massachusetts
As a native New Englander, Ric has spent nearly half his life as an acoustic musician, illustrator, art educator, and
breadsmith.
Music is his tool of navigation, discovery, and anchoring. His guitar is always nearby pulling deeper into the unfamiliar with the steadiness of a mast. Ric gravitates toward unique voicings, percussive frailing, and meticulous fingerpicking patterns.
