COME LIVE WITH ME
|
|
I was thirty-seven
|
You were seventeen
|
You were half my age
|
The youth I'd never seen
|
Unlikely people meeting in a dream
|
Heaven only knows the way it should have been
|
Here today my tomorrow
|
Where you lead I will follow
|
All that kissing
|
No passion missing
|
Come live with me
|
Kiss the boys goodbye
|
|
Dinner parties followed
|
And all my age implies
|
My friends began to talk
|
I began to realise
|
If half the things they say
|
Are quarter true of me
|
Then how can I eclipse the youth
|
You gave to set me free
|
|
There was something in your smile
|
That was hard to reconcile
|
The time had come to testify to reason
|
Though years will not erase
|
Remembrance of those days
|
At least there's no submission to hearts treason
|
|
Here today my tomorrow
|
No more shame only sorrow
|
All that kissing
|
There's something missing
|
Come live with me
|
Kiss the boys goodbye
|
|
Now there's nothing left to cry for
|
And there's nowhere left to go
|
Just another hopeless fight
|
But how were we to know
|
The strong are sometimes wrong
|
But the weak are never free
|
The choice we made we can't evade
|
Don't try to follow me
|
|
Here today my tomorrow
|
No more pain only sorrow
|
All that kissing
|
There's something missing
|
Come live with me
|
Kiss the boys goodbye
|
Come live with me
|
Kiss the boys goodbye
|
|
