Too Much Between Us

There's you, you're sleeping over there

Whilst me, I'm sitting here

With so much sea between us

I can't make it much more clear

There'll be no time for crying

We won't make it more than six

I could change my plea to guilty

But I don't think it would stick

Still those other ratings far too easy to despise

You've said so much in silence now, I truly am disguised

Let him, who fears his heart alone

Stand up and make a speech

For him perhaps an emperor's throne

If he could only speak

Far too few and far to follow

For shame I'll heed the cry

Be with me when I need a drink

Be with me when I die

Still those other ratings far too easy to despise

You've said so much in silence now, indeed I am disguised
