TENDERHEARTED

Seems to me that I have been here before

The ghost’s of past misfortune crowding at the door

If I could leave this place cross to the other side

I would rest my soul lie down for a while

But I’m going down, down, down, down, down

Circumstance has bought me to my knees

I’m sinking down, down, down, down, down

Drunk and drowning in my jeans

And if I feel like letting go

Just to rest upon the riverbed

That’s when she lifts me from the bottom

Lay me down beside the waters edge

I know that you have been so good for me

I lose myself I lose my worries and cares

I thought that I would never say these words

There’s no one else but you… my tenderhearted girl

But I’m going down, down, down, down, down

Take this burden with me to the edge

I’m falling down, down, down, down, down

Throw this body to the wind

And if I lose my sense of time

Can’t you see I’m hanging on a line?

I’m hoping you know what I mean

As the words fall short of the way I feel

When sometimes I look into your eyes

It feels like I am looking at the sun

Why don’t you love me till I cannot see?

There’s no one else but you … my tenderhearted girl
