When I felt your love begin to leave
I wondered what love had achieved
I wondered what I had at stake
An awful lot for nothing’s sake
When I felt your love begin to die
I tried to blind my wandering eye
I tore this little room apart
To shame my misbehaving heart
When I thought your love would bleed me dry
I carried on but god knows why
But why does man do anything?
Build castles or write songs to sing?
When I put your love in a closet box
And bound it up with chains and locks
Then threw the whole thing in the sea
It escaped and wandered back to me
When I felt the love between your legs
The kind of love that moans and begs
Then asks if you can stay the night
Only so to start a fight
