Oh My Love
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.
She wrote to me
And said in a letter
That she wanted to see if she could do better
She thought that she could
But if only I'd let her
That's where she stood, for worse or for better
I couldn't argue 'cause deep down I knew
As much as it pained me, well I felt it too
And oh my love
We've got to be more careful
In the future
And oh how much
It helps to talk about it
And let it out
Yesterday I found a picture of me
When I was a baby and I was to be
A man with no home
A drift in the sea
No plan of his own
So careless and free
And it makes me sad
Then deep down I know
That all is not lost and there's still room to grow
And oh my love
We've got to be more careful
In the future
And oh how much
It helps to talk about it
And get it out
We could be lovers
Or we could be friends
Smother each other
But that's how it ends
Could be the wrong words
That mean everything
Like two lonely song birds
That don't want to sing
And its hard to swallow
But deep down inside
I know that its true
And it can't be denied
And oh my love
We've got to be more careful
In the future
And oh how much
It helps to talk about it
And let it out
And I'm so proud of
The way we face the truth
About our future
And so my love
What will we do without it?
Do without it?
