Help me now my lover
to believe in you again
even if anyone can trust you
I feel lonesome anyway
So many times I tried to find you
I walked against the wind
I didn’t really want you
but I miss you all the same
And your heart is strong
your love is real
the way you touch me
and wishper in my ear
That I’m the one you need
that I’m the only one
I forgot your blankets
I forgot the stars
But if you want to stay
honey take your place
I didn’t know that you were waiting
for a blade to cut your pain
But I’m a good man baby
and my heart is all I know
the only thing you ever gave me
is a prayer I haven’t heard
It’s been a long time since I met someone to talk to
I just used to sit by the sea
and I supposed to be alone
but then you came in to my time
Now that you’re on your own
I just don’t mind
I keep goin’ on day by day
baby you’re a friend of mine
I still live in an empty house
far from the way we used to be
and I didn’t lose my way
because of you
But if you want to stay
honey take your place
I didn’t know that you were waiting
for a blade to cut your pain.
But I’m a good man baby
And my heart is all I know
The only thing you ever gave me
Is a prayer I haven’t heard
