Tears and Time

You made the face of heaven Watched me from the milky stars Slept heart to heart on couches Took you drinking in my bars Now I will place you in the mountains And I'll place you by the sea So you can't follow me Travelling misadventure Showed the weapon that I held Something honest in me shot you Something fragile in you felt And for the sake of future comfort We thought it only best To keep your mind at rest And it's a wide, wide world that you come from And it's a high, high price that you pay for your freedom Your freedom And now you kiss me And you tell me how the others are unskilled I tell you tales of past-felt oneness In a bitter draught distilled And though you're like the sweetest liquor You're inconstant as the moon So well I knew And it's a wide, wide world that we come from And it's a high, high price that we pay for our freedom Our freedom
