couldn't lend him
to you forever
said the hard man
from above
made you to
a giver and a savor
but also to a loser of love
made your heart
big enough to carry
every kind of pain
made you to a dream
for marriage
but also to someone
i must drain
gave your eyes
the colour of an ocean
where anybody could drown
i'd swear an oath
on your sterling friendship
but i will always
let you down
in storms and rain
it's hard to light the candle
and i'm sorry when
it's snowing on his stone
the gravel-walk's so familiar
with your footsteps
that's a sound that could
make me leave the throne
couldn't lend
him to you forever
