You've made your decision now get up and leave
The familiar sting of the woodcutters swing to the tree
Ill fall in the forest to elbows and knees.
And it won't make a sound since there's no one around here to see
I was prepared to love you
And never expect anything of you
If a spirit has left you baby don't lie to yourself
Put them old records on and admit that it's gone somewhere else
Just because we're beasts of blame by nature doesn't mean that you should carry it again
It's a question of needs, and not rosary beads, in the end
I was prepared to love you
And never expect anything of you
But there's no patron saint of silent restraint
There ain't no sword in our lake
Just a funeral wake
You were the coldest star in the sky
Only I couldn't see it I was blind
In come the black night calling your name since you were born
Only I couldn't hear it I was empty as a drum
I was prepared to love you
And never expect anything of you
But there no patron saint of silent restraint
There ain't no sword in our lake
There ain't no sword in our lake
There ain't no sword in our lake
Just a funeral wake.
