Assurance

I've seen the way you look at me

I've seen you waiting patiently

I'm fine; Well, I lied

If what we are is feeling low

I'd fear this if I had a soul

But you're still mine

I was afraid of being chained

I found a woman who could mend and bend all of my deepest insights and thoughts

It's just one more round, one more

One more round and I'm done

So you need assurance that everything's gonna be fine

'Cause you're just a woman who's everything good in my life

And though we'd been over, weeping over

Our last goodbye

I learned to live with these fatal gifts

And still, you're mine

So I...

So I wrote you this song

But you won't sing along to me

To sing "La dan da do da la dai-ee-i-ee-ay

La dan da do da la dai-ee-i-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee-ayay"

The memories that used to be

Are carved into a sweet gum tree

Outside my place

Where I touched your face

And it was one more round, one more

One more round than I'd loved before

Still, you need assurance that everything's gonna be fine

You're just a woman who's everything good in my life

And though we'd been over, weeping over

Our last goodbye

Well, I learned to live with these fatal gifts

And still, you're mine

So I...

So I wrote you this song

But you're not here to sing along with me

To sing "La dan da do da la dai-ee-i-ee-ay

La dan da do da la dai-ee-i-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee-ayay"

Sing me "La dan da do da la dai-ee-i-ee-ay

La dan da do da la dai-ee-i-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee-ayay"
