patches of you

Your lives have become mine

Your lives, they have become mine

Run up and down my spine

On my face, above my eyes

 

I love you like a child

My darlings, I love you like a child

But there are days I’m feeling vile

And I can’t explain to others why

 

Then patches of you come out of my life

Leaving behind spots of desert all white

And you fall to the floor

 

I look in the mirror and I see what I’ve done

I have to start over to love anyone

As you fell to the floor

I wish I could say no more

 

You belong where you are

My darlings, you belong where you are

But there are days where I can’t see

Why you must lay there easily

 

I grab you with my hands

And throw you out from there

And I see broken pieces of you

To remind me of the fact that I should care

 

Patches of you coming out of my life

Leaving behind spots of desert all white

As you fall to the floor

 

I look in the mirror and I see what I’ve done

I have to start over to love anyone

As you return to life

I only say, it’ll soon be all right

 

Soon be all right, be all right
