Risk

I'm embarrassed that I care this much It's foolish but I came here just To tell you that I loved you once Though I left in such a rush The summer I was twenty nine Your mouth so fine like blooming flowers Unfolding in the golden hours That lit us when we touched I may make too much of this It seems so right I can't resist it That you could be the silver bullet To kill that howling fear I guess it happens all the time That's someone's life but it's not mine That's someone's wife but she's not mine The image I hold dear Well it seemed like proof though briefly held Then ached like wisdom teeth until Time that great big spinning wheel Brought me back around And though I'm in a different place There's times I dream and see your face I haven't found one to replace you Not yet anyhow I may make too much of this It seems so right I can't resist it That you could be the silver bullet To kill that howling fear I guess it happens all the time That's someone's life but it's not mine That's someone's wife but she's not mine The image I hold dear Surely there's some peace in this That you exist and I exist If all my pride and selfishness Has brought me only loneliness Than love's a risk that's worth the risk Love's a risk that's worth the risk Love's a risk that's worth the risk Love's a risk that's worth the risk Love's a risk that's worth the risk Love's a risk that's worth the risk Love's a risk that's worth the risk Love's a risk that's worth the risk Love's a risk that's worth the risk Love's a risk that's worth the risk Love's a risk that's worth the risk Love's a risk that's worth the risk
