Let the game begin I think I know where you’ve been Wrapped in aching eye Cause that gray flashed in your eyes When you tremble like a rose Still dressed in summer clothes, still suffering
This pattern’s in your hair The flowers faint when you’re near You don’t understand me I don’t pretend to be that clear Till I tremble like the rose How do I follow where you go, still suffering?
I count the times I’ve read the signs I follow you Ten steps behind I draw the line I count the times You burnt me
I count the times I made some plans I used to think of someone’s hands I draw the line I count the times You burnt me
Do I tremble like the rose Or do I follow where you go, still suffering? On the fingers of one’s hands I can’t count the times you came to nothing
I count the times I’ve read the signs I follow you Ten steps behind I draw the line I count the times You burnt me
And all the words I’ve never said And all the things I never did I draw the line I count the times You burnt me
