I remember way back when I felt only ennui

Like nothing could complete me

No promise of a rising sun illuminating everyone

The very thought defeating

But man alive! What a blinding light!

It must be what it's like when worlds collide

Especially when he sees her

Pretty soon, he'll tease her

I was on the road too long

My laboured love bore only song

And not one of them a keeper

But if I woke in the morning to find you were gone

I know I'd try and find the will to be strong

But am I strong enough?

Am I strong enough?

I once built a bower, I could build you a home

Together forever, but forever anon is still not long enough

It's still not long enough

The look of fear was in your eyes

And I could see myself as a child

Such a devastating feeling

How I wished I could go back in time

But all I could do was apologise

Right then, your eyes were healing

Healing

Oh if I woke in the morning to find you were gone

I know I'd try and find the will to be strong

But am I strong enough?

Am I strong enough?

I once built a bower, I could build you a home

Together forever, but forever anon is still not long enough

It's still not long enough

Oh I've been Cain, but I wanna be able

Been a drunken fool

But I wanted to be stable enough

To lay every one of my cards on the table

Hope it's not too late for us to find a way through

If I woke in the morning to find you were gone

I know I'd try and find the will to be strong

But am I strong enough?

Am I strong enough?

I once built a bower, I could build you a home

Together forever, but forever anon is still not long enough

It's still not long enough

I went looking inside myself for a home

Found only a sapling in search of an oak

But it's a start, my love

Oh it's a start, my love

But am I strong enough?
