Thinking as I do, as the light touches your face, wishing that I could ever be so gentle,
meaning not to offend,
I fell into a sleep,
knowing hypocrites are always going to be,
sleep my darling, sleep my darling,
sleep my darling,how I love you with such just,
we have half-life enough to sustain us through the rough,
all the clashes and defence of all we have done wrong,
hoping there is a whole where the half used to be,
I tried all night to set your body on fire,
apologies if ever I acted lazily,
apologies if you had to kick me in the side,
apologies too if ever there was any doubt,
apologies again if ever I was lazy,
I weave the gold back into straw,
how I love you like I loved you before
