|
I've been racing for you honey |
|
But you take your love |
|
From under my feet |
|
The very moment I arrive |
|
I hold the invitation in my hand |
|
You smile and I don't understand |
|
When you tell me the writing ain't yours |
|
You were the one thing I could count on |
|
Even if your apathy was what I expected |
|
Oh darling I waited and waited to feel your footsteps |
|
And to hear your breath |
|
But maybe I just wanted someone to wait for |
|
Chorus: |
|
You were ever in my mind |
|
You were behind my soul each time |
|
I held it to the flame |
|
You were ever in my precious thoughts |
|
I'd leave a room of angels |
|
Just to be alone |
|
If only to say your name |
|
I never told you I needed you darling |
|
Like a rose needs the rain |
|
How could you possibly know how much |
|
So I reach for your love |
|
Like the moon and the stars |
|
Ever in my sight |
|
Ever out of touch |
|
There's a spotlight of a holy kind |
|
Think it comes from somewhere |
|
Up in the sky or from some far off lovely place |
|
But this light never ever ever shone on me |
|
At least as far as I could see |
|
So I sat in the dark and I watched you |
|
Now I just cry to myself |
|
When there's no one around |
|
And I teach myself to walk backwards |
|
Out of any given situation |
|
Yes I can be graceful and try |
|
Not to step on my train and |
|
You don't have to say goodbye |
|
But I'll be right here if you want to |
|
Chorus |
|
Now I could paint your portrait |
|
If I never saw you again |
|
When I am old someone may ask me |
|
If I ever loved |
|
And I will speak but they won't recognize |
|
My words, they'll say I'm telling lies |
|
And maybe I am |
|
Maybe I am |
|
All I know is |
|
Chorus |
