Love ridden I've looked at you
With the focus I gave to my birthday candles
I've wished in the lidded blue flames
Under your brow
And baby I wished for you
Nobody sees when you are lying in your bed
And I want to crawl in with you
But I cry instead
I want you warm body
But it will only make colder when it's over
So I can't tonight, baby
No, not "baby" anymore
If I need you I'll just call your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while,
We'll only have to wave
My hand won't hold you down anymore
The path is clear to follow through
I stood too long in the way of the door
And now I'm giving up on you
