The Scruff Of The Neck
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This is the truth
Or as close at it gets
I was in love, she was all I could want
But that's not how it ends
Oh when I would rest
My head on her breast
I won't deny, she could tempt me to life
With the slightest caress
I was the same somehow
As I am now
But love doesn't check
It only connects
Selecting its prey
Then it pulls them away
By the scruff of the neck
No way the same future
For her and I
Not once I'd met his eye
One to her heart with each word I said
Out of her arms and into his bed
I found something more at her expense
But now I've laid it to rest
Save for the day that I left
There was no way I could spare her that pain
That's my only regret
Hard to handle
Hard to forget
By the scruff of the neck
