You're not a ship to carry my life You are nailed to my love in many lonely nights I've strayed from the cottages and found myself here For I need your love your love protects my fears And I wonder sometimes and I know I'm unkind But I need you to turn to when I act so blind And I need you to turn to when I lose control You're my guardian angel who keeps out the cold Did you paint your smile on, well I said I knew That my reason for living was for loving you We're related in feeling but you're high above You're pure and you're gentle with the grace of a dove
