A Sinking Song
Why do I now
Need you every day?
There used to be a time
I couldn't help but turn you away
Need you near or far
At open or close of the day
In the company of strangers
Or with friends here to stay
Love is not a word
We depending on no more
How did it contain
All that I spilled at your floor?
If we married into a home
It would not ride out our door
If we married out of the spell
Our company would soon ask for more
Why do I now
Need you every day?
There used to be a time
I couldn't help but turn you away
