[00:00.08]It was your birthday yesterday
[00:05.85]I gave a gift that almost took your breath away
[00:12.44]But to be honest, I nearly left it on the train
[00:19.38]For your lover give some time
[00:27.50]You talk forever on the phone
[00:32.93]To your mother and with my thoughts I'm left alone
[00:39.80]Now and then I think how strange our love has grown
[00:46.87]For your lover give some time
[00:54.45]I will give up these cigarettes
[00:59.71]Stay at home and watch you mend a tear in your dress
[01:06.86]Have your name in a rose tattooed across my chest
[01:13.30]And be your lover for all time
[01:20.82]Maybe I will drink a little less
[01:26.90]Come home early and not complain about the day
[01:33.62]And give you flowers from the graveyard now and then
[01:40.29]For your lover give some time
[01:49.73]
[02:15.41]I think of places that I've seen
[02:21.34]A skipping stone across the ocean I have been
[02:27.99]A rootless man with no one else to share my dreams
[02:34.36]And for my lover gave no time
[02:42.53]Here's a toast to you, Helene Helene，
[02:48.31]To all the cinemas we ran in from the rain
[02:54.85]Laughing, clutching soaking newspapers to your face
[03:01.88]And for your love you gave some time
[03:09.82]I will give up these cigarettes
[03:15.21]Stay at home and watch you mend the tears in your dress
[03:21.98]Have your name in a rose tattooed across my chest
[03:28.56]And be your lover for all time
[03:35.64]Maybe I will drink a little less
[03:42.23]Come home early and not complain about the day
[03:48.80]And give you flowers from the graveyard now and then
[03:55.65]And for my lover give some time
[04:02.43]For your lover give some time
[04:07.73]
