Lyrics

Now you've left your true love

You see he left you little choice

The indecisive heart does

Selfish violence without voice

And as the dreadful daily silence

Begins its inevitable rise

You say at worst it feels like

He wouldn't care if you had died

Never more than now I thrill

At being led behind your screen

To be wrapped up thigh to thigh in

A shared shed skin of sympathy

I feel the warmth in your blood

Just as your love of it runs cold

So close you feel your father's distance

So true the faith your brother stole

Even for a wise man

Few are the words to comfort you

Plain as English can but

As if spoken in your language too

Yet wisdom also holds the tongue

And so I'd still conceal the truth:

What loves wills be done which

Friendship will not do

So I won't say

If I were your brother

I'd strive to treat you how I knew I should

And if I were your father

I could die and know I'd done some good

Yes I could die and know I'd done some good

And if I were your lover

But one who never -

Your lover

But one who never quite had you understood

And if I were your lover

But one who never -

Your lover

But one who never quite had you understood

If you were contented

Then I would

If you were contented

Then I would

And if I were your lover

But one who never quite -

And if I were your lover

But one who never quite had you understood -

Well if you were contented

If you were

Then I would

If you were contented

If you were

Then I would

If you were then I

If you were then I would

If we were the setting

Of an early Autumn sun

The blessing of our beauty

Would be with its fading into darkness one

There is no separation

Of having and had into their parts:

It is the possessing dispossession

In that moment stuns the heart

If I kept your garden

It wouldn't stay always in June

And if I bore your children

They would grow up both too slow and too soon

They'd probably love you more than me

But I'd be proud they'd chosen you

And if we were contented

That would do

And I need not say

If I were your brother

I'd strive to treat you how I knew I should

And if I were your father

I could die and know I'd done some good

Yes I could die and know I'd done some good

And if I were your lover

But one you never quite had understood

If you were contented

Then you would

If you were contented

Then you would
