God, I love you and I always will
And I would hold you tight through the night just to keep you still
I love your face and I love your skin
And that stupid way you dance always does me in
If you want to fight or roll in the clover
We could talk all night and it would still be over
If I could change it all, if I could make the call
You would always be my lover. You would always be mine.
I watch you now from way over here
And that’s a hard thing to do through all these years
I watch you play; you don’t hear me sing
You said I like to take the joy out of everything
You understand I’m not like the man
I can’t hold back my heart like I do my hands
Please understand, this was not the plan
But I wouldn’t trade the way I feel though I’ll be damned
Here comes the night and it shines on you
And it sheds a little light on everything you do
Here comes my love, watch out for me
Throw me a line else I drown in entropy
