Sweet pear

Sweet pear, sweet pear

Those who say they love you would never dare

I'll watch out for you

I'll always be there

In the hour of distress you need not fear

In all the world there's only one true love

And finding it's hard enough

I bless whatever's in the sky above

For bringing you to me

But there's a void without your kiss

I wake on the precipice above the abyss

And though the touch of your lips these fears dismiss

Make no mistake there is an ache I have to live with

Was my grip too lose, my grip too strong

That made you want to run away

And now you're back where I pretend you belong

I wonder every night and day

How long

I swear this is my prayer

'til we're burned and scattered in the atmosphere

Or lost in the world across a crowded room

I am your stupid lover, your wretched groom
