Shepherd

It's about the impact

You said to me in bed

What woman taught you that

I said back

You only shook your head

I don't want to go there

That lesson cost me more

Than I care to admit

Can I be so sure of you

Shepherd of your pain

How can I get through to you

If you won't let me in

If you think the water

Gets more kind as you try

I've burned in isolation

Not my only crime

But I don't want to go there

Those lessons cost me more

Than I care to admit

We never want to go there

Those lessons always cost us more

Than we'll admit
