You've made your decision
Now get up and leave
The familiar sting of
the woodcutters
swing to the tree
I'll fall in the forest
To elbows and knees
And it won't make a sound
since theres no one
around here to see
I was prepared to love you
and never expect
anything of you
If the spirit
has left you baby
don't lie to yourself
Put them old records on
and admit that
it's gone somewhere else
Just because were
beasts of blame by nature
doesn't mean that you
should carry it again
It's a question
of needs and not
rosary beads in the end
I was prepared to love you
and never expect
anything of you
And theres no patron
saint of sudden restraint
Baby there ain't
no sword in a lake
Just a funeral wake
You are the coldest
star in the sky
I couldn't see it
I was blind
And in comes
the black night
Calling your name
since you were born
I couldn't hear it
I was empty as a drum
I was prepared to love you
and never expect
anything of you
And theres no patron
saint of sudden restraint
Baby there ain't
no sword in a lake
There ain't no
sword in a lake
There ain't no
sword in a lake
Just a funeral wake
