Lover loves me But he loves somebody new Lover wants me To be his mother too He don't recognize His luck until his luck is through
He's a nightingale I'm an ugly dove I don't wanna speak Done said enough No one can mend a human heart that's torn in two
In a moment's space he's gone And my ship has run aground And a thousand drunken dreams are sunken If you leave me: Lover, please leave me something.
You Don't leave me diamonds Don't leave me jewels You leave me silence You leave me bruised You leave me with the knowledge of the evil we do But Nothing could control the weather And nothing could console my devils And no-one knows the manner in which they'll burn
In a moment's space he's gone And my ship has run aground And a thousand drunken dreams are sunken If you leave me Lover, please leave me something.
You wrapped me in the stained shroud of morning And pulled the cord You threw me through the stained-glass floor You dropped me in the hole A whole lot of nothing
In a moment's space he's gone And my ship has run aground And a thousand drunken dreams are sunken If you leave me Lover, please leave me something.
