There once was a time when I was drawn to you
Days and the nights remaining too few
But in a world where the cynic is wise
Saw your world through simpler eyes
I dreamt all was healed, I dreamt all was well
Dreamt it was all just two dreamers in hell
Pray for a respite, pray for more rain
Pray that what's keeping me down keeps me sane, oh whoa
Tear it apart though it's something you love
Any of the many is still too few
In all manner of mannerly ways
Whoa
♪
Now and again I've called you, my friend
Sometimes a lover, sometimes just pretend
Love is away from love's a way, too
Love is a say nothing, you charmer you —
Far away I'd and just in the way
Too many tests on the question today
Love to say somethin' lovers can do
Glad to have known, so sad it is through
Tear it apart like it's someone you love
It's just somethin' I held on too long
Born like a princess, you take like a queen
Yeah, yeah
