How will I know if it's not like the first time
|
How will I know if this is the one
|
I try to hold you not like the first time
|
You slip away and the past goes on
|
|
If I hold out for you will you hold out for me
|
Hold out from here to eternity
|
If I wait for you will you come to me
|
For I need you from here to eternity
|
But I carry on
|
|
Times I walk through empty and aimless
|
Dragging days like a worn out mule
|
A night so empty it can only be painless
|
Weak and weary as your favorite fool
|
|
I must take comfort in the little you leave me
|
The ring you stole on the darkest night
|
The weight of souvenirs that lie to deceive me
|
The dust of journeys and the scent of life
|
|
