Even Now - Mick Flannery

Through the bedroom soft and slow

To your lips and to a smile

Strange and out of style

On the morning that you chose to cut me loose

I am moving you did say

I must send your love away

You have come too close to me

In your voice I hear a need

That is not how it should be

At least to me

In my heart I felt like dying

I whimpered like a child

In my mind I knew that time

Would turn the dark back into light

Though there and then it felt like nothing could do right

And even now I’m not so sure

Even now I’m not so sure

All the love that used to be

All the passion given me

Now it goes down into town

And it throws itself around

It gets drunk and goes with one who doesn’t see

All you want is to be free

In a pair you don’t believe

I should have seen it in your eyes

That you could now take the time

To be faithful just to me, to be faithful just to me

Was not in you

On your cheek there is a scar

At your neck there is the part

That held the water when we swam

When your hand was in my hand

You were beautiful…
