lyrics

Please beg me to say. Stop me, hold me, tell me there are things that you've been dying to say. Read between the lines I draw I'll sing between the words you say. We will fall over laughing.

Dance me til the sun comes creeping in. Tell me stories of trees in the woods and the Land of M.

My sweet lady take my hand. My sweet lady come here lie with me for a while. Sweet lady laugh with me. My dearest companion you knew not your own strength.

The coffee and eggs went well with the morning. I saw you that day in your mother's garden. And the bed sheets went well under our sleeping bodies. I saw you that day, sweet Sarah, you were older and wiser.

I've been a lover to lovers that I did not love. I've been a friend to a friend that could not be faithful. I've lied. I've been cruel. I have broken a heart. I've felt desperate in love. I've felt madness at night.

Dance me til the sun comes creeping in. Tell me stories of trees in the woods and the Land of M.

My sweet lady take my hand. My sweet lady come here lie with me for a while. Sweet lady laugh with me. My dearest companion you knew not your own strength.

The lines on your face went well with the nightfall. I saw you that day in your living room. And the dinner you made went well with the lighting. I saw you that day as an old man, but not wiser.

Is there nothing I could say to make you want me? Because there's nothing you could do to make me love you less. We are all just here keeping each other company, while we all are waiting around to die.

My sweet lady take my hand. My sweet lady come here lie with me for a while. Sweet lady laugh with me. My dearest companion you knew not your own strength.

I hope you do not mind if I stay here a while. I will watch as you move; I'll memorize your body. Say you dont mind that I wrote you this song. I will hum you the tune while we're busy doing nothing at all.
