You come back today I’m afraid to see your face Since you’ve gone away An image in your place Has occupied my mind An image of you, lost In darkness, and I find I didn’t count the cost Of filing (was it blunder?) The documents that rip Our strong union asunder Was it wrong, I wonder? Will you come to your senses? Will the spell be lifted? Will you then break my defenses; And have reparations gifted? But then I picture you In HIS arms, on repeat… And once again I stew; Can’t sleep, and I can’t eat But wounds that I now nurse Will one day make me strong It cannot get much worse So add verses to our song The song of you and me Afloat but sinking fast Adrift in these rough seas Without an anchor cast The only way we’ll save The friendship underneath Is taking what you gave And sinking-in my teeth Because there was some good I took from our meandering But I’ll not hold my breath That you have stopped your wandering So, civil I will be I promise to be kind Your infidelity Will slowly leave my mind And one day we will laugh, About our childish ways; About this current gaff, Or at our chosen phrase Describing these hard times As we visit our brood And laughing at your crimes Love’ll be understood

Not sure why I love you
You come back today I’m afraid to see your face Since you’ve gone away An image in your place Has occupied my mind An image of you, lost In darkness, and I find I didn’t count the cost Of filing (was it blunder?) The documents that rip Our strong union asunder Was it wrong, I wonder? Will you come to your senses? Will the spell be lifted? Will you then break my defenses; And have reparations gifted? But then I picture you In HIS arms, on repeat… And once again I stew; Can’t sleep, and I can’t eat But wounds that I now nurse Will one day make me strong It cannot get much worse So add verses to our song The song of you and me Afloat but sinking fast Adrift in these rough seas Without an anchor cast The only way we’ll save The friendship underneath Is taking what you gave And sinking-in my teeth Because there was some good I took from our meandering But I’ll not hold my breath That you have stopped your wandering So, civil I will be I promise to be kind Your infidelity Will slowly leave my mind And one day we will laugh, About our childish ways; About this current gaff, Or at our chosen phrase Describing these hard times As we visit our brood And laughing at your crimes Love’ll be understood
