She will never know When she tells you goodnight The feeling that you hide As she lays by your side When you stand All the faults of a man Etched right in your face Still she lays there in place How the warmth Of the garden you sowed Is the stuff of these bones Once broken and cold And you go home And you sleep in your bed Feel like you're dancing in sync With the ghost in your head And she wakes You say go back to sleep And you dare never say The greatest secret you keep Is that you might be alone And that you might have to run That the rest of your life Will be a series of nights That you spend in your mind Staring backwards through time At something you lost ♪ And you'll never be whole You'll never be one Eyes closed in the sun On a warm day in June But on the damp, dirty floor Of your wintery cold room You'll see her face in the dust How it fills you up And you say hello Hello Please don't ever leave Please don't ever go And you can call me a man It's etched right in my face But it can never span The endless expanse of space All around us alone Just this one small home One brief moment of time The only thing I call mine Is this line that we cross And how it came at the cost Of everything that I lost
