I look to the west The sun blinds me I shade my eyes Your gaze finds me I lose my breath ♪ She looks at you My head reels You look back You make her feel Like I used to I recall when you first touched me Haunted by your face above me You, it was always you With your broken crown Touched me like holy ground And I, so eager to believe So sincere, so naive Back when you loved me I look to the sky Small birds fly In a black line One falls behind I hear it cry ♪ The sun shines through Your water glass, it lights up her dress It magnifies what I regret I recall when you first touched me Haunted by your face above me You, it was always you With your broken crown Touched me like holy ground And I, so eager to believe So sincere, so naive Back when you loved me, oh Living with your memory now, oh It's being lost at sea now, oh It's dragging me It's dragging me Dragging me down You, it was always you With your broken crown Touched me like holy ground And I, consumed with poetry The kind that brought me to my knees Back when you loved me ♪ I look to the west I hope that bird has found its way The sun slips away
