When it takes me, it takes me by surprise, just off this path that's mined with falsehoods and alibis, betrayals and short goodbyes. But let me linger for a while... oh, what's it gonna hurt? Let me rest here inside your smile, because I know what it's worth. It's worth the sun... it's worth the moon... and it's setting soon Forgive me for always blurting out the truth. You are looking for beauty and find none in this plain face and faded youth, tarnished heart and lack of couth But let me linger for a while, oh, what's it gonna harm? Let me have this little while to rest here in the shadow of your charm. It's worth the sun... it's worth the moon... and it's setting soon. Some would hold out hope against the night. I resist that addiction with an armored heart and lack of schemes, battered soul, and robbed of dreams. But let me linger for a while, before the wound. Let me memorize your face to brighten up the coming gloom. It's worth the sun... it's worth the moon... and it's setting soon |
