Lyrics

I know that you?re no good for me
That is the standard alibi
I only love the memory
Of moments that have passed me by

That kiss that I could never get
Sitting in a corner of your mocking mouth
As I turned and rode away
On a wave of fortune swiftly heading south

But somehow you have followed me
I find you in the dead of night
Uncovered with my honesty
A wrong that we will never right

That place that I can never reach
Speaking from a corner of my hungry heart
You can laugh at me from there
You?re the jester, I?m the fool, I know my part

But you must know I loved you then
Could never tell you how
Perhaps I didn?t know myself
I understand it now

How else could you have wounded me
Ineffably, with just a stroke of grace?
With the light upon your face in the morning
When I woke up in your place
