Make It Up To You

Walking over ground we have shared
 On this windy winter night
 City fills my ears and everywhere
 Is a movie in this light
 Suddenly it's you, 20 years ago,
 At that dirty school bus glass
 Your quiet tears they fall all in a row
 While my eyes fall hard on my lap
 And I love you though I never say I do
 Someday I will find a way to make it up to you
 Your eyes searched the world outside that glass
 For a hiding place
 And I too afraid of their wrath
 To look you in the face
 Their stupid arrows flew straight at your hair,
 Every chestnut curl
 And at the shyness that you held in your stare -
 You were not other girls
 And I love you thought I never say I do
 Someday I will find a way to make it up to you
 But I have never been much good
 At sticking up for you
 I guess you're the Robin Hood
 And I'm the merry fool
 And I love you though I never say I do
 Someday I will find a way to make it up to you
