All of these grateful looks
|
All these grateful eyes
|
All the furious stares and the fretful sighs
|
|
Promising everything
|
To everyone
|
We'll be back soon
|
You're my favorite one
|
|
And I'll keep it quiet
|
I'll hold you dear
|
The whispering fills the ear
|
|
Tell me you'll stay
|
We would have such fun
|
And the lie, you don't need anyone
|
|
And the screams, the wails, and the call
|
The headiness of the fall
|
Ten-thousand miles from where we began
|
I fell asleep with a picture in hand
|
It was all for a woman
|
|
Say that you're grateful for the time alone
|
Two years away and I don't miss home
|
And everyone asks you if you still think of her
|
So you smile politely and you demur
|
|
But then all at once your head starts to swim
|
And you can feel her breath on your skin
|
If I let you stay, the same spot today
|
She's above you, below you in ways
|
|
And you're shivering cold
|
Like you're just 10 years old
|
And she's lying asleep in your bed
|
|
And you're standing beside her
|
The light from inside her
|
Filling up the darkness in your head
|
It was all for a woman
|
|
You've drowned in the teasing
|
You've forgotten the reason
|
The muse inspired the art
|
|
You'd give anything for
|
For her to say them once more
|
The words you believed at the start
|
|
Ten-thousand miles from where it began
|
Falling asleep with a picture in hand
|
And it was all... it was all
|
For the look in her eyes
|
Of the promise of the lie of a woman
|
