On love, yet again

I loved a woman . Beautiful, beautiful woman, but so serious. This frowning face in the middle of a daisy. She had a way a walking, processional, like she was walking to her own funeral.

You're the light from another world.

You swallow me whole,
With just a mumbled hello

And it breaks my heart to love you

It breaks my heart to love you.

and it hurts me more than you've ever guessed

It's just a way of making you speak

And destination looks kind of bleak

where the rain can't get in
but if the sweat pours out
just shout 

I'll try to swim and pull you out

and when I wake every morning with a new broken heart
I let her out
I let her in
