Oh, the songs I could have given you, sweet thing If it'd seemed like the thing to do If I'd have written down everything Oh, the shit I'd have put you through One on the wonderful in we And two about the same in you Three, the flame you put in me Four more, nothing I couldn't do But I never did, never could keep away from you Not even to make something you could take away with you To stay with you, the way other things stay with you The way I can't stay with you Oh, that scare that you gave me there, sweet thing And I know that you didn't mean to Well, I wish I could say it was fleeting But it's still there, between me and you Oh, that the flame's gone out in thee That you'd taken it out of me too That you're moving on to sweeter things But for me, are there sweeter than you It just keeps getting harder to pretend That this love will live to see a different end I keep wondering if this is too much to spend But I spend anyway, and I spend 'til I'm spent So it's hard, just to know I don't know where it went Oh, the fool you must think of me, lover Some crazy bat taken with fear But dementia is more than just shudders And I don't think I'm making it clear Oh, the wishes I had for us, doll Well, I knew they'd crumble like sand But before my infection could madden us all I dreamed we'd start a rock and roll band So we never did, still, we know that there's songs to sing Sittin' to get written, the potential in everything If you write one, you could call me darling And I'd write back, and I'd call you sweet thing Like Jeff would say, if he sang to Debbie In another world, where I was dead instead of he Or if she sang to him, like blue-eyed you to brown-eyed me Or if she sang to him, like blue-eyed you to brown-eyed me Oh, sweet thing, oh, sweet thing Oh, darling, oh, darling Oh, sweet thing Oh, darling
