My Dear Lyrics - Singles - The Mariner's Children

I am your man 

And you're mine 

What don't you understand 

I'm a gift that I give to you free 

So be grateful and start loving me 

I won't ever leave 

And though you push, won't ever leave you be 

Because I know what in your heart remains 

And I know what on your soul is stained 

And I rest easy tonight 

Knowing he lies far from your sight 

And as the light shines in across the plains 

I know far from you he will remain 

Tell me where you've been tonight 

My dear 

I can see him in your eyes 

My dear 

Love's a fire I can not light 

My dear 

On a cold and lonesome night 

My dear, my dear, my dear 

Like a moth betrothed to a flame 

Without words I sense you scream my name 

As we burn in fatal ecstasy 

I'll know your love was all I would ever need 

And that man whose name I heard you call 

He meant you harm, he meant to ruin us all 

But don't fear, no more you'll see him round 

For tonight he sleeps beneath the ground 

Tell me where you've been tonight 

My dear 

I can see him in your eyes 

My dear 

Love's a fire I can not light 

My dear 

On a cold and lonesome night 

My dear, my dear, my... 

Lover please don't fear me 

I mean you no harm 

I only broke his neck and both his arms 

I know that you're weary 

So I'll be your best friend 

I'll bolt the door and never open it again 

And I guess that's how this little tale will end
