|
I started by saving you |
|
I thought it was wise |
|
So you asked me Why? |
|
Why give your freedom to stand at my side? |
|
I said It Makes You Mine |
|
(At least it was worth a try) |
|
We watched our behaviour |
|
At least for a while |
|
Until we'd had enough |
|
You gave in completely |
|
Eyes full of stars |
|
Until you had to stop |
|
The heart beats on and off |
|
Soon you went walking |
|
And left me to fret |
|
I knew not where you'd been |
|
Something about you that smells of the sea |
|
And you say I am all sky and rain |
|
Please don't leave me again |
|
So, dear woman |
|
I'll answer you now |
|
Breathless though I am |
|
Silent too, as a thousand miles |
|
Empty as a hand |
|
I gave up nothing |
|
You gave me everything |
|
Until you gave me away. |
