Lovers Lament

You came like a motherless child Empty handed and starry eyed I took you in under my wing I tried to fix your, fix your broken dreams Like the fall of ancient Rome Bring by brick and stone by stone Doesn't matter how far you've come You've always got further, further, to go The stories that you told Somehow brought a sense of hope You knew how hard I'd fall That's the cruellest thing of all Hey, hey, babe It was always you and I Sometimes we almost touched blue skies But your dead weight pulled me down Hey, hey, babe Like the lovers by the wall Somehow, I knew we'd lose it all So long, hey, hey, bye, bye Bye, bye You said you'd love me all with you've got But you don't know a thing about love You built me an empty shrine Of stardust and rusty knives You knew how hard I'd fall That's the cruellest thing of all Hey, hey, babe It was always you and I Sometimes we almost touched blue skies But your dead weight pulled me down Hey, hey, babe Like the lovers by the wall A final kiss when darkness falls So long, hey, hey, bye, bye Bye, bye We were always a lover's lament Such beautiful endless decent Yeah, we were always a lover's lament It was always It was always you and I Such a beautiful endless decent It was always It was always you and I You and I
