She'll never know When she tells you goodnight The fear that you hide As she lays by your side
When you stand All the faults of a man Etched right in your face Still she lays there in place
How the warmth Of the garden you sowed Is the stuff of these bones Once broken and cold
And you go home And you sleep in your bed Feel like your dancing in sync With the ghosts in your head
And she wakes You say, “go back to sleep” You dare never say The greatest secret you keep
Is that you might be alone That you might have to run That the rest of your life Will be a series of nights That you spend in your mind Staring backwards through time At something you lost
And you'll never be home You'll never be one Eyes closed in the sun On a warm day in June But on the damp dirty floor Of your wintry cold room You see her face in the dust How it fills you up
And you say hello Hello Please don't ever leave Please don't ever go And you can call me a man It's etched right in my face But it could never span
The endless expanse of space All around us alone
And just this one small home One brief moment of time The only thing I call mine Is this line that we crossed And how it came at the cost Of everything that I lostTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
