I saw you leave the cities one day,

You were so afraid, you were so afraid

Bathing in a pool of your sweaty tears

You ain’t aged in years, you ain’t aged in years

I, I made a mattress for you out of my body

Mine’s the sheets and I, I

Haven’t words to say to you

To make you feel much better

I want you to be, I want you to be,

I want you to be there

I want you to be, I want you to be,

I want you to be here

Oh darling,

How can I lift these worries from my heart?

These worries from my heart?

Whoa, my darling,

It seems we’re all grown to nothing but shadow

To nothing but shadow

I made a blanket of my hair

You are so sweet and thin

You are so damn thin

With your anchors gone

You are floating to free

I could not foresee, I could not foresee

I, I made a mattress for you out of my body

Mine’s the sheets and I, I

Haven’t words to say to you

To make you feel much better

Oh darling,

How can I lift these worries from my heart?

These worries from my heart?

Whoa, my darling,

It seems we’re all grown to nothing but shadow

To nothing but shadow, oh oh

Oh darling,

How can I lift these worries from my heart?

These worries from my heart?

Whoa, my darling,

It seems we’re all grown to nothing but shadow

To nothing but shadow, oh oh
