Come into my arms
And I'll tell you of the life that we never had
Those summer weeks were short
But they were long enough, and now I'm feeling pretty bad
I saw you in that summer dress
The mood was right and now it's time that I confess
That I have always wanted more
I can't contain the love that I have long suppressed
What we had was real
But we didn't have the time or place to play it out
I know that I'm the one to blame
Believe me darling, I am sorry now
And after time I've come to see
I want the life that you described so beautifully
We'd raise our children by the trees
I'd sing them songs and you would read them poetry
So should I be listening to my heart, or my mind?
I'd listen to them both, but they just can't decide
I fall because my train of thought doesn't run on tracks
And I stumble
'Cause if I had a brain I would figure this one out
If I had a heart I could let it lead the way
And if I had some courage I'd say all of this is you
Come into my arms
And I'll tell you of the love that I felt that day
We had found a place to rest
We settled at that secret place you hid away
I looked at you, your cheeks went red
The grass was cool, our future hanging by a thread
A friendship based on things unsaid
And now I think I'll sing them to you instead
But now when you come over
I don't feel from you the love from you that I felt before
I know that you've moved on
But still selfishly my heart yearns for more
It pains me to live in regret
I can't go on feeling like we're overdue
But elephants, they don't forget
And darling, I'm a dumbo through and through
So should I be listening to my heart, or my mind?
I'd listen to them both, but they just can't decide
I fall because my train of thought doesn't run on tracks
And I stumble
'Cause if I had a brain I would figure this one out
If I had a heart I could let it lead the way
And if I had some courage I'd say all of this is you
