Why would you pity such a sweet thing?
Give her your heart and then walk away?
Why would you pity such a sweet thing?

Sing her sonnets in the sunlight
and talk her to languages she don't understand?
Magic thoughts out of fairytales
in a dream she once had?

Why would you care for such a sweet thing?
Tell her all that she desires and drop your hand?
Why would you care for such a sweet thing?

Show her mountains and oceans
and take her on adventures unabound?
Light her fire with a single match
and watch as it dies out beneath your feet?


Why would you taste such a sweet thing?
Have your fill and eat some more besides?
Why would you taste such a sweet thing?


A fountain flows more lightly than a stream
with no point for beginning or end
Why begin on a journey with no map
Why become the enemy and not the friend?

Why would you pity such a sweet thing?
A lost swallow falling in flight?
Why would you pity such a sweet thing?

Heart....How doust thou love now
trapped in a wall of freedom
of your own doing and tears..
Heart...blind i am to your beat

Why?
Would you pity such a sweet thing?
