You say your time has come

You're tired of waking up

Don't be obscene I can't conceive of

Living without you

You say you drag me down

No one should want you now
G D
When I start to cry you kiss my eyes and say

Burning beacon in the night

Can't feel its heat or see its light

That single solitary guide
D G
it must get lonely there sometimes

You were a child forgot
A
Lessons of love untaught
G D
Now no embrace can quite replace

The one that never found you

I was raised tenderly

All that was taught to me

I will apply your parents tried

but they didn't know how to
