| I can feel how you’re slipping
|
| Why you won’t discuss
|
| But I wanna be there to guide you
|
| When you sink into your dreams
|
| I’m not the listener that you are
|
| And I may never be
|
| But I know a little about loving
|
| And a lullaby or two
|
| The world has a way of letting you down
|
| You have a way of your own
|
| Therefore something has got to go
|
| You must do your own leaving
|
| If you’ll make an honest attempt to sleep
|
| I can hold you all through the night
|
| I’ll even come to your church and sing
|
| But you must do your own crying
|
| I’m sure you had your reasons
|
| For not trusting me that much
|
| But I hope you will reconsider
|
| And let me rise to the occasion
|
| I respect you for your jailbreak
|
| I know damn well what you paid
|
| Don’t shut me out I beg you
|
| We don’t need another hero
|
| The world has a way of letting you down
|
| You have a way of your own
|
| Therefore something has got to go
|
| You must do your own leaving
|
| If you’ll make an honest attempt to sleep
|
| I can hold you all through the night
|
| I’ll even come to your church and sing
|
| But you must do your own crying |
