Lyrics

Am I asking for the moon?
Is it really so implausible
That you and I could soon
Come to some kind of arrangement?
I'm not asking for the moon
I've always been a realist
When it's really nothing more
Than a simple rearrangement
With one roof above our heads
A warm house to return to
We could start with separate beds
I could sleep alone or learn to
I'm not suggesting that we find some earthly paradise forever
I mean how often does that happen now?
The answer's probably never
But we could come to an arrangement
A practical arrangement
And you could learn to love me
Given time
Well, I like my independence
I get by, I'm not greedy
Do you see yourself as Scélahair?
Do I really look that needy?
I brought a child up on my own
It takes me all my strength to face him
The father upped and left me
And I'm not desperate to replace him
Tell me what kind of a catch
Is a struggling single mother?
I respect you and I like you
But I won't accept another empty promise
When some grey and stormy rain clouds hang above me
When I've heard it all a hundred times
From a man who said he loved me
But if we came to an arrangement
A practical arrangement
Then perhaps I'd learn to love you
Given time for an arrangement
If we could come to an arrangement
All we really need's a practical arrangement
If we could come to an arrangement
Perhaps you'd really need it
I'm not promising the moon
I'm not promising a rainbow
Just a practical solution
To a solitary life
I'd be a father to your boy
I'd be a shoulder you could lean on
How bad could it be
To be my wife?
With one roof above our heads
A warm house to return to
You wouldn't have to cook for me
You wouldn't have to learn to
I'm not suggesting that this proposition here could last forever
I've no intention of deceiving you
You're far too clever
But we could come to an arrangement
A practical arrangement
And perhaps you'd learn to love me
Given time
Given time
