Yesterday, you loved me.

Tonight, I'm just not sure

You say you've given all
that you can take, now
you don't care anymore.

I don't have the answers

You say I haven't got a clue.

I guess I was standing in my way
and blocked my view of you.

I've heard it said that lovers
are friends, caught on fire.

We've both been burned
Don't let our friendship turn
into a funeral pyre.

Words were thrown,
like daggers.
We both bear the scars

Slamming door
and an engines roar
Lord, I guess I went too far.

Honey, aint it funny
Now its all so clear

All the times
you spoke your mind
and I was too blind to hear.

I wonder if you'll come back home?
Is my hold on you that strong?

How much time
before you change your mind
and can I hold out that long?

I don't know where to turn
I have never learned
how to bring my body down
on bended knees.

I don't know how to cry
But now, I think if I
make it through tonight...

Its all gonna dawn on me.

Yes, love is fraught with danger.  Perhaps women need to accept that the deaf and blind are simply made that way and men need to acknowledge the simple "knowing" of women ~ and bow to that.     But we all have different times for the "dawning".  Enjoyed this!
