The nights are endless
Those stains that just won't wash away
tears are breathless
you offered saying you would never stray

But the nights are too cold
freezing, in my bloodshot burning eyes
I feel a new spring, maybe memories of old
perhaps, maybe it's just a bushel of lies

You had me as your very own
and I forgave and forgave even
as I toiled thankless caught on thorns
I tried again and again to be believeing

You said I do, I will
why did you not mean the things
you said, promised, swore still
means to me, everything

So I spread my delicate wings
to night skies and beyond
Of you, our love, once I would sing
But it's clear enough, now I am, a chorus of one

So many times it just seems to be a chorus of one...one thinks they are God and you are there servant...one think the world revolves around them...one wants you to spend all your time kissing there behind...sorry...James
