As a girl, I lived in a million homes |
| [00:05.04] |
So I always would keep to myself |
| [00:09.34] |
And my lessons were learned |
| [00:11.15] |
From the stories and poems |
| [00:13.77] |
I would steal from a library shelf |
| [00:17.42] |
|
| [00:18.63] |
Yes, the books like the rooms |
| [00:20.55] |
Weren't mine to keep |
| [00:23.75] |
But the words were left behind |
| [00:29.38] |
And I think of them all now when I can't sleep |
| [00:35.25] |
And a poet who read my mind |
| [00:42.61] |
|
| [00:44.62] |
As the wise men once wrote |
| [00:47.65] |
Never give all the heart |
| [00:54.43] |
Well, it's easy to see |
| [00:57.03] |
He was writing for me |
| [00:59.31] |
I just wish I could play that part |
| [01:04.33] |
|
| [01:05.11] |
Yes, he scribbled that love isn't worth thinking of |
| [01:10.09] |
That is fades out from kiss to kiss |
| [01:15.33] |
If I'd just learned those lines |
| [01:17.78] |
Well, just think of the misery I'd missed |
| [01:23.54] |
|
| [01:24.94] |
As the Irish men said |
| [01:28.35] |
Don't put your heart up to play |
| [01:34.26] |
When he warned of the cost |
| [01:36.64] |
And the heart that he lost |
| [01:38.94] |
Mister Yeats really paved the way |
| [01:43.12] |
|
| [01:43.88] |
For the men that I've known |
| [01:46.51] |
Who have clearly shown |
| [01:49.65] |
They've been reading him from the start |
| [01:54.41] |
'Cause when it comes to me |
| [01:57.45] |
Well, their kisses come free |
| [02:01.75] |
But they never give all the heart |
| [02:08.71] |
|
| [02:18.38] |
When he warned of the cost |
| [02:20.04] |
And the heart that he lost |
| [02:22.53] |
Mister Yeats really paved the way |
| [02:26.92] |
|
| [02:27.39] |
For the men that I've known |
| [02:30.07] |
Well, they've clearly shown |
| [02:33.95] |
They've been reading him from the start |
| [02:39.54] |
'Cause each time that I fall |
| [02:44.17] |
They never give all the heart |
| [02:53.13] |
|
| [02:55.49] |
MmmmmmMmmm.... |
