Before I jump ship, for cooler shores, may I gently close this account of ours?
Through all that I know and have loved is inside, Im just losing faith in these costly times.
And I pray for your health and your peace of mind but God must now I just want you by my side.
And the mornings Ive woken and sought your warmth, If only Id held you and told you before
But Im no fool, my heart's just exposed, Im just weathering the flows
And Im not the man you thought, I suppose, you leave me tender to the blues
And you phone me to tell me, of these regrets of yours, But Ive been lying awake until
the small small hours
And the wise men say I should fight for my cause But Im all punched out and just so so tired.
But Im no fool, my heart's just exposed, Im just weathering the flows
And Im not the man you thought, I suppose, you leave me tender to the blues
