And you might be surprised By how much I love you And the coals that burn white in my chest And you might be surprised By how oft' I think of you But ambition has encamped around me Dark toothed obsession has taken your place Open your eyes You are better than me Selfish and pitied your man has become You can't recognize I'm too far to be reached And my gaze looks beyond your face And my heart has turned greyed and dull So do not love one Who can't love you as much Go ahead and turn this dog loose And do not think of one Who does not think of you Let this dead branch shake alone Find another who can love you strong Let not my dark clouds spoil your dawn
