You're not a ship to carry my life. You are nailed to my love in many lonely nights.. I've strayed from the cottages and found myself here. For I need your love. Your love protects my fears..
I'm no longer counting I'm not keeping score. I could say my list of lovers doesn't matter anymore. But some are always in my heart. And some I'm not so sure.
Baby what's wrong. Is it something that someone has said about me. What have you heard. Is there anything that you want to say to. . And baby please don't you cry.
"I meant to do my work today. The brown bird sang in the apple tree. I know that's why .... And a butterfly flittered accross the field. And all the leaves were calling me.
I wake up and I look at the clock. In the middle of the night my heart stops. When I see you in the moonlight. I know why I'm in love. . Peace will come I promise you.
I'm gonna be a mighty king so enemies beware. (Well I've never seen a king or beast with quite so little hair). I'm gonna be the main event like no king was before,.
How have I come to this?. How did I slip and fall?. How did I throw half a lifetime away. Without any thought at all?. . This should've been my time. It's over, it never began.
Written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong. . Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew. About you're plans to make me blue. With some other guy that you knew before.
Don't wish it away. Don't look at it like it's forever. Between you and me. I could honestly say. That things can only get better. . And while I'm away.
Written by Reg Dwight. . Never thought I'd miss you. When you said goodbye. Never thought I'd see the day. That I break down and cry. Won't you come on back to me.
Don't wish it away. Don't look at it like it's forever. Between you and me. I could honestly say. That things can only get better. . And while I'm away.
Like a corn in a field I cut you down. I threw the last punch too hard. After years of going steady, well, I thought that it was time. To throw in my hand for a new set of cards.
Without you I no longer swim upstream. Where are you when I try to fill the spaces in between. The red letter days and all the pain. And while I remain shipwrecked everything has changed.
I got feet sticking out of my shoes. I got heat more than I can use. I got love, I got all I need. I got soles that are wearing thin. I got holes where the rain gets in.
I've always said that one's enough to love. Now I hear you're bragging one is not enough. Something tells me you're not satisfied. You got plans to make me one of four or five.
This house that I live in has no reason. This house that I sleep in has no purpose. It has a bed and a few old chairs. Three flights up, two flights of stairs.
Take me for granted, I think that I could stand it. After all these rough seas. Left me reckless and abandoned. Say the spirits willing, chance a new beginning.
And every time I get to thinking. Every thought of you I want to shout aloud. Then I think about the love I have inside me. How you brought what's inside out.
I can't keep this from you. I've held it in so long. It's time to tell the truth. Keeping it from you is wrong. I can't keep this from you. It's so simple I'm afraid.
I can't go on living without you, oh no. I once said I could go on without your love. I would be strong but things have changed and heaven's above. I know that I need you more than I did before.
