For Your Lover Give Some Time |
It was your birthday yesterday |
I gave a gift that almost took your breath away |
But to be honest I nearly left it on the train |
For your lover give some time |
You talk forever on the phone |
To your mother and with my thoughts I’m left alone |
Now and then I think: how strange our love has grown |
For your lover give some time |
I will give up these cigarettes |
Stay at home and watch you mend the tears in your dress |
Have your name in a rose tattooed across my chest |
And be your lover for all time |
Maybe I will drink a little less |
Come home early and not complain about the death |
And give you flowers from the graveyard now and then |
For your lover give some time |
instrumental |
I think of places that I’ve seen |
A skipping stone across the ocean I have been |
A rootless man with no one else to share my dream |
And for my lover gave no time |
Here’s is a toast to you Helene |
To all the cinemas we ran in from the rain |
Laughing clutching soaking newspapers to your face |
And for your love you gave some time |
I will give up these cigarettes |
Stay at home and watch you mend the tears in your dress |
Have your name in a rose tattooed across my chest |
And be your lover for all time |
Maybe I will drink a little less |
Come home early and not complain about the death |
And give you flowers from the graveyard now and then |
And for my lover give some time |
For your lover give some time |
