Last Blues

My precious wife, I am in shambles

I am crumbling, I am

Was it something I did

Bid the tide to climb so high that it ripped our shore up

I can fix it, I swear

If you trust me

I am old and I am rusting but I care

I care

My precious wife, we made a promise

Pledged our flesh to be one

How can you doubt a love that stood so proud as we raised our children

I believe in it still

It has faltered and it has faded

But I know it's there

It's there

And how'd it change

The way you thought of me

How strange to think we once were lovers

Now we've wrapped the past up in broken glass

And when you speak my name you shudder

My precious wife, believe I'll save this

I'll revive it, I will

We've built a family from this marriage

Why would you tear it apart

Speak now, precious

Your silence screams

You're giving in to your failure

Hear me, the promise that you made was meant to keep forever

Until we die, you're not allowed to change your mind

Oh, husband, I could not control

Husband, I could not abstain

One cannot stop the wind from blowing

Nor refuse the falling rain

Love stirred up a storm inside me

Wrapped its arms around my waist

I failed you dear, I'm sorry, oh I'm sorry

But there was nothing I could do

No, there was nothing I could do

Sure as the rain will fall

Some love just fails

There was nothing I could do

There was nothing I could do

There was nothing I could do

There was nothing I could do
