why cant i love you less??


when the ship pulls in the shore,
and waitin arms all around are held forth,
i cant ignore the pain i feel ,
when mine are the only ones still empty
why then am i so sleepless?
why cant i just love you less?

when the night gathers around,
when the dinner is all but cold,
the moon i think mourns my pain
as i still wait out in the rain,
why do i so obsess?
why cant i just love you less?

when spring comes forth with glory,
flowers, dew, colours, sing for joy,
i wait till feet hurt,
from waitin for the long scented roads
to bring you home,
why do i feel lik this?
why cant i just love you less?
