Kate

So many people fall in love

And i laugh of them for being dumb

And then i turn around and eat my crow.

If you don't understand that phrase

Maybe i can add a phrase

In other words: the joke's on me

Because

I never cared much for owning things

For fancy cars, or diamond rings

But i knew i had to have you, kate

Kate, when i met you,

You had everything that i need

Now you're gonne

And i miss you terribly

When we grow old it won't be long

I'll write a book and sell my songs

Making just enough to keep us poor

I'll have an empty flat with just one room

And an old swing bed with space for two

Take me or leave me, babe

It's all i got

If you stay with me and eat a while

A loaf of bread, a glass of wine

I know its all on me but you are

Kate, when i met you,

You had everything that i need

Now you're gonne

And i miss you terribly

But i feel someway that i'll come up sure

You'll realize i'm not the sort of boy you want

To call your name

You'll get tired of the empty shells

When i'm trying out here to make it for myself

Will you stand by me even if i fail?

You know i loved you from the start

When you wrapped your fingers around my heart

And you torn that big thing in two

I'm just waiting for when the time is right

To ask you kate if you'll be my wife

And then we'll paint the world like two lovers do

'cause kate i'm so tired of missing you

Oh kate… i'm so tired of missing you
