In Memoriam

It's a long way out to reach the sea
 I'm sure I'll find you waiting there for me
 And by the time i blink, I'll see you wild arms swinging
 Just to meet me in the middle of the road
 And you'll hold me like you'll never let me go
 And beside the salty water, I could hold you close,
 But you are far too beautiful to love me
 It's a long climb up the dusty mountain
 To build a turret tall enough to keep you out
 But when you wage your wars against the one who adores you,
 Then you'll never know the treasure that you're worth
 But I've never been a wealthy one before
 I've got holes in my pockets burned by liars' gold
 And I think I'm far too poor for you to want me
 It's been a long road, losing all I've owned
 ♪
 And you don't know what you've got until you're gone
 And it's a nasty habit, spending all you have, but
 When you're doing all the leaving, then it's never your love lost
 And if you leave before the start, then there was never love at all
 And heaven knows I'm prone to leave
 The only God I should have love,
 And yet you're far too beautiful to leave me
