It was time for me to leave and I ain’t hardly joking. Things were falling down around me like the Berlin Wall. Heart was tattooed on my sleeve like some albatross. I was set right to take a fall. Sweetest thing I’d ever seen. Danced in the shadows for me. Said, “You’ve been lost now for so long, it’s time you hold on to me. End this misery”
I said yeah, yeah, I would but you’d leave me wounded in love.
Darkness had come over me like some haunted house. I was drowning knee deep in un-holy days. Incognito faith and reason they were everywhere. To hide in plain site was my best defense. Sweetest thing I’d ever seen. Danced in the shadows for me. Said, “The tears you cry on the battle field of life, are the liquid cowardice of the weak, you really ought to hold on to me”
I said yeah, yeah, I would but you’d leave me wounded in love.
The hardest thing is this internal contradiction; you see my two faces they don’t see eye to eye at all. I’ve been reaching for the world going places. As if that was the purpose of it all.
The gate went down I paid the toll at the border of the soul and just when I didn’t think I couldn’t take no more. You’re subtlety came down on me like a ton of bricks, but nothing ever mattered I still was going to get my fix. Sweetest thing I’d ever seen. Danced in the shadows for me. Said “there are only two roads you can travel in life, one leads to sorrow, one leads to me, there’s no mystery”
I said yeah, yeah, all right but don’t you leave me wounded in love. I said yeah, yeah, don’t you leave me wounded in love? I said yeah, yeah, don’t you leave me wounded in love?
