lyrics
There’ll be no long, drawn out goodbyes
Leave me no words to pretty your lies
I’ll take one last kiss, and then I’ll depart
I’ll be glad, you once held my heart
No rivers of moon, or mountains of green
Could cure of us of all the trouble we’ve seen
And when I feel small, beneath all the stars
I’ll be glad, you once held my heart
Foreverly wooed by your wits and your charms
But I see right through the love you lack in your arms
It’s funny, there’s fear in calling our bluff
Our love wasn’t blind, it just wasn’t enough
Those lingering lips won’t leave any marks
And I’ll look unchanged, well for the most part
Salt stains shall not stay, tomorrow’s not far
I’ll be glad, you once held my heart
Leave me no words to pretty your lies
I’ll take one last kiss, and then I’ll depart
I’ll be glad, you once held my heart
No rivers of moon, or mountains of green
Could cure of us of all the trouble we’ve seen
And when I feel small, beneath all the stars
I’ll be glad, you once held my heart
Foreverly wooed by your wits and your charms
But I see right through the love you lack in your arms
It’s funny, there’s fear in calling our bluff
Our love wasn’t blind, it just wasn’t enough
Those lingering lips won’t leave any marks
And I’ll look unchanged, well for the most part
Salt stains shall not stay, tomorrow’s not far
I’ll be glad, you once held my heart
