D-DU-UDU
All of these grateful looks
All these grateful eyes
All the furious stares and the fretful sighs
Promising everything
To everyone
We'll be back soon
You're my favorite one
And I'll keep it quiet
I'll hold you dear
Your whisperin fills the ear
Tell me you'll stay
We would have such fun
And a lie, you don't need anyone
And the screams, the wails, and the call
The headiness of the Fall
Ten-thousand miles from where we began
I fell asleep with a picture in hand
It was all for a woman
You say that you're grateful for the time alone
Two years away and I don't miss home
And everyone asks you if you still think of her
So you smile politely and you demur
But then all at once your head starts to swell
And you can feel her breath on your skin
If I let you stay, the same spot today
She's above you, below you in ways
And you're shiverin cold
Like you're just 10 years old
And she's lying asleep in your bed
And you're standing beside her
The light from inside her
Filling up the darkness in your head
It was all for a woman
And you've drowned in the teasing
You've forgotten the reason
The muse inspired the art
You'd give anything for
Her to say them once more
The words you believed at the start
Ten-thousand miles from where it began
Falling asleep with a picture in hand
And it was all... it was all
For the look in her eyes
Of the promise of the light of a woman
