Text
For you, my dear, My method’s unclear, But I cannot cast it away– The skies are blue When I am with you, And with me I hope you will stay. There are some things, The wind will sing, That we now must work on and fix, But in your eyes, I see the skies– My care for you is so prolix. We don’t need tools, No, those are for fools, As everything we need to mend, Is here with us, No anger, no fuss, Just something I will recommend. I need your touch, Your passion, and such; These things will make me feel complete. Your warmth and your heart Will give me a new start, And keep me off of the streets. I loved and lost. I feel like frost: So cold and so lonely and dead– But now I say, No regret here to stay, That I’m glad that I’ve found you instead.
