In Memoriam

It's a long way out to reach the sea I'm sure I'll find you waiting there for me And by the time i blink, I'll see you wild arms swinging Just to meet me in the middle of the road And you'll hold me like you'll never let me go And beside the salty water, I could hold you close, But you are far too beautiful to love me It's a long climb up the dusty mountain To build a turret tall enough to keep you out But when you wage your wars against the one who adores you, Then you'll never know the treasure that you're worth But I've never been a wealthy one before I've got holes in my pockets burned by liars' gold And I think I'm far too poor for you to want me It's been a long road, losing all I've owned And you don't know what you've got until you're gone And it's a nasty habit, spending all you have, but When you're doing all the leaving, then it's never your love lost And if you leave before the start, then there was never love at all And heaven knows I'm prone to leave The only God I should have love, And yet you're far too beautiful to leave me
