"My precious wife
|
|
I am in shambles
|
|
I am crumbling, I am
|
|
Was it something I did
|
|
Bid the tide
|
|
To climb so high
|
|
That it ripped our shore up?
|
|
|
|
I can fix it, I swear
|
|
If you trust me
|
|
I am old and I am rusting
|
|
But I care, I care"
|
|
|
|
"My precious wife
|
|
We made a promise
|
|
Pledged our flesh to be one
|
|
How can you doubt a love
|
|
That stood so proud as we raised our children?
|
|
|
|
I believe in
|
|
It still
|
|
It has faltered, and it is faded
|
|
But I know
|
|
It's there, it's there.
|
|
|
|
And how'd it change?
|
|
The way you thought of me?
|
|
How strange to think we once were lovers
|
|
Now we've wrapped the past up in broken glass
|
|
And when you speak my name you shudder
|
|
|
|
Oh precious wife
|
|
Please believe this
|
|
I'll revive it, I will
|
|
We've built a family from this marriage
|
|
Why would you tear it apart?"
|
|
|
|
"Oh, speak now, precious
|
|
Your silence screams
|
|
You're giving in to failure
|
|
|
|
Hear me
|
|
The promise that you made
|
|
Was meant to live forever
|
|
|
|
Until our deathbed
|
|
You're not allowed to change your mind
|
|
Was there nothing in that promise?
|
|
Are you listening to me?"
|
|
|
|
"Oh, husband, I could not control it
|
|
Husband, I could not abstain
|
|
One cannot stop the wind from blowing
|
|
Nor refuse the falling rain
|
|
|
|
Love stirred up a storm inside me
|
|
Wrapped its arms around my waist
|
|
I failed you
|
|
Dear, I'm sorry
|
|
Oh, I'm sorry
|
|
|
|
There was nothing I could do
|
|
No, there was nothing I could
|
|
Sure as the rain will fall
|
|
Some love just fails without a reason"
|
|
|
|
There is nothing you can do
|
|
There is nothing you can do
|
|
There is nothing you can do
|
|
There is nothing you can do
|
|
|
|
