Fourteen Days

Darling, I was married when I met you And I guess I should've told you at the time But I knew that girl since school And I was such a fool to make her mine Darling, I was young and I was fickle Oh, love was just a trickle, until you drown I took her fear for love But she'd love you just enough to keep you around Oh, fourteen days of pouring rain With a shiver I can't shake Come hell or high water, I pray that I taught her Love ain't a given, it's all give and take Darling, I was sober 'til I met her So how'd I get here drinking like a fish Oh, our love was longer And stronger than the wall that broke my fist And darling, I was wise and she was wily Oh, something in her eyes gave her away And I just pray that she learns before her Body returns to the clay Oh, fourteen days of pouring rain With a shiver I can't shake Come hell or high water, I pray that I taught her Love ain't a given, it's all give and take Oh, fourteen days of pouring rain With a shiver I can't shake Come hell or high water, I pray that I taught her Love ain't a given, it's all give and take
