lyrics

My Love
I'm writing you a letter in the hope that you feel better about our twisted and unsavoury goodbye
I didn't mean to hurt you or control you or subvert you and I really didn't mean to make you cry

I would give my left eye just to see you with my right
But I guess your doing fine inside your comfortable shoes and there's no need to find the time to fight for you

Today my love will stay some day my love will stray

Just sit there boozing choosing records and amusing all your feckless and abused associates
But who will pay the price for all the days and all the nights and all the time you chose to hide your love away

I would give my right hand just to touch you with my left but I'm too far up stream for you to hear my desperate screams and if you heard them then I doubt that you would help

Today my love will stay some day my love will stray always my love will stay some day my love will stray

I've been feeling twisted I'm a lemon sunk in whiskey I'm a biscuit dunked in a very well made brew
I am half a man the other half is in a can it's stuck up in a tree and it has no canoe

I would give my right hand just to touch you with my left but I'm too far up stream for you to hear my desperate screams and if did then I doubt that you would help

Today my love will stay some day my love will stray always my love will stay some day your love will stray
