Story Behind The Song

I loved an ordinary man, quite spectacularly.

Lyrics

CHORUS:
I can?t imagine
The time it takes to heal
From an overreaction
To a life threatening passion
For a MAN OF MORTAL APPEAL

VERSE:
Last night I slept and dreamt
I watched you marry someone else
And I felt so glad to see your face
Could not feel sad myself

But as you left the alter
With the world?s most lucky bride
I wept for lack of promise
I again would see your eyes

CHORUS:
I can?t imagine
The time it takes to heal
From an overreaction
To a life threatening passion
For a MAN OF MORTAL APPEAL

VERSE:
Just before two shadows
Faded from the church doorway
You briefly reappeared
For having one last line to say

As you flung your eyes upon me
Stilling every pulse inside
You said, ?Wake and join the daylight, Dear?
Leave our old night behind?

BRIDGE:
Spared no more from your dreams
That do not speak of joining mine with yours
I see that you?re wanting someone
And you don?t have to answer for it
Not to me

CHORUS:
But I can?t imagine
The time it takes to heal
From an overreaction
To a life threatening passion
For a MAN OF MORTAL APPEAL
