 Needless to say

 You are haunting my mind 

 You give me no peace

 Yes peace is hard to find

 And I’d trade every word

 Of every song I’ve written

 For the true honest innocence

 We knew as children

 In the space of the moon

 Love is casually given

 Love’s a casualty driven

 From the face of the moon

 And I know you’ve been wounded

 And your heart is still mistrustful

 I know well of that kind of trouble

 It’s been haunting my mind

 We slept seven stories high

 In a dormitory bedroom

 And at night we’d watch the snow shine

 ‘Neath the splinters of the moon

 And sometimes we thought that we could see

 Way the hell to Corpus Christi

 But the Kansas hills lie misty

 Like a pocket full of spoons

 There’s a tropical storm 

 Off the coast of Australia 

 And like the coast of Australia 

 My mind is tossed and blown

 And this feeling that I’ve got here

 It can’t be easily explained yet

 No it’s not easy to say yet 

 How my love for you has grown
