I let you leave
I watched you leave from a bench in the park by the old hanging tree
as the grey river flowed to the great open seas
I watched you leave
I stayed all day by that hollow tree and I cried to the sun went to sleep
and I pictured her hair, her long dark hair and I wondered if we’d be free
I stayed all day in the garden contemplating how lucky I was ...
to know the difference and what a burden it’s become
I let you leave on a plane to the west and I let you go with such ease
and I let you think that you weren’t the one to give me the strength that I need
You sailed away, it’s all you could do like a ship casting off at first light
leaving behind the ruin I am in the darkest of times
Oh I could die now so sad and alone I suppose that I could do on my own
go through life careful and cold on this solitary road
And I miss you more than ever before, and wait for this to pass
I’d take a knife to my heart if I could, I pray that this won’t last
So I pack a suit case and say my good byes, I explain I have somewhere to go
that life has a way of throwing us signs and either we learn or we don’t
Oh it’s easy to stay in a place that you know than challenge the world to a fight
no certainties and no promised land but just think what you might find
I let you go with a pain in my breast
a pocket of nothing a world of regret
I’ve never known anything quite like it
and I watched you leave
time flies
bon voyage mon petit it’s late and I must sleep
as sure as we are lying here the sun will rise
we only have an hour before her rays wake the flowers
bringing forth the day to cover up the night
So move over here come close I want to feel you near
ease into the dream come lie with me
how time flies
the thief the enemy of lovers
how time flies
with the one you love...
with the one you love
naked in the dark my eyes betray this wicked heart
I celebrate the night now that you’re here
magic in the air I breathe you taste you everywhere
so glad that you arrived, you saved my life
So move over here come close I want to feel you near
ease into the dream come lie with me
how time flies
the thief the enemy of lovers
how time flies
with the one you love...
with the one you love
the colours of the night
the colours of the night are swimming in your eyes
and I can’t turn away
try as I might it’s a losing battle this I fight
floored in so many ways
the consequence of loving you is all too obvious
and it’s true to say that it’s destroying me
and I’ve no defense no argument to keep you from my door
I’m so drawn into this perverse catastrophe
and it’s enough ...
to tear my heart in two
enough ...
to lead me back to you
and it’s enough ...
as all our dreams fall through
the echoes of the night leave me hypnotised
and I am far away
try as I might it’s a losing battle this I fight
floored in so many ways
the consequence of loving you is all too obvious
and it’s true to say that it’s destroying me
and I’ve no defense no argument to keep you from my door
I’m so drawn into this perverse catastrophe
and it’s enough ...
to tear my heart in two
enough ...
to lead me back to you
and it’s enough ...
as all our dreams fall through
the colours of the night
are swimming in your eyes
and I can’t turn away
