delores

looking out the door i see the rain fall upon a field of mourners
parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
maybe i'm too young to keep good love from going wrong
but tonight you're all my mind's on
you'll never know
broken down & hungry for you love but no way to feed it
where are you tonight?
child, you know how much i need it
too young to hold on
& too old to just break free & run
sometimes a man gets carried away
when he feels like he should be having his fun
much too blind to see the damage he's done
sometimes a man must awake to find that really he has no one
so i wait for you & i'll burn
will i ever see your sweet return
oh will i ever learn?
oh, lover you should have come over
cause it's not too late
lonely is the room
the bed is made
the open window lets the rain in
& burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
my body turns & yearns for a sleep that won't ever come
it's never over
my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
it's never over
all my riches for her smiles when i slept so soft against her
it's never over
all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
it's never over
she's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever
but maybe i'm just too young to keep good love from going wrong
oh lover you should have come over
i feel too young to hold on
i'm much too old to break free & run
to deaf, dumb, & blind to see the damage i've done
sweet lover you should have come over
it's not too late
