You say you want a cigarette
I hold the flame up to your hand
Say you should give it up
I open like a flower at your touch
For you, it isn’t much
Why can’t I give you up?
Your kiss is like the tide
Touch the shore and then goodbye
Now I’m adrift at sea
Hoping you will notice me
My God
It’s lonely loving you
You wax and wane
Just like the moon
You say there’s water in your dreams
You ask me what it means
You’re already gone
I hold you, but you look away
What can I do to make you stay?
You’re already gone
Your kiss is like the tide
Touch the shore and then goodbye
Now I’m adrift at sea
Hoping you will notice me
My God
It’s lonely loving you
You wax and wane
Just like the moon
My God
It’s lonely loving you
You wax and wane
Just like the moon
My God
It’s lonely loving you
You wax and wane
Just like the moon
My God
It’s lonely loving you
You wax and wane
Just like the moon
You touch my hand
Suddenly there I am
You touch my hand
