The times were hard right from the start, but we thought that we could handle it

I didn’t know, you ran from your heart, I see now you were managing

I fell in love and fell apart, I hear it’s a common happening

I seemed to have crossed some fated stars, and can’t seem to begin again

Better try anyway, cause baby I don’t need you, but I want you to stay

I’m trying to show you the way, so darling let me see you, I’ll lead us to better days

The times were good, like I knew we could, and I finally knew happiness

Ancient friend, found once again, the knowledge of your sweet caress

He left my finger raw and asked forever after

You put your trust in that green god, but what about the Woman?

Better try anyway, cause baby I don’t need you, but I want you to stay

I’m trying to show you the way, so darling let me see you, I’ll lead us to better days

At last the man, a partner true, grew weary with the same old blues

I didn’t know quite what to do, for I had fought his demons too

The night had turned to something sharp, believe me love it was the lark

Safely hidden from the dark, it was the curse from the start

Better try anyway, cause baby I don’t need you, but I want you to stay

I’m trying to show you the way, so darling let me see you, I’ll lead us to better days

Better try anyway, cause baby I don’t need you, but I want you to stay

I’m trying to show you the way, so darling let me see you, I’ll lead us to better days
