Well she's a comely thing with a come-to-bed grin
Spark in the eye and a pocket full of sin
And if I saw her today I'd toast her with gin
Tell her that I love her with my heart made of tin
I was running from curses to all her sweet mercies
With a body so warm as we spooned out the verses
We've been through it all so give us your worst
As we play out the night for all that it's worth
It's the sweetest pain
Like throwing me a lifeline and I'm drowning all the same
And if it seems too bleak, we'll curl up together and whisper the words we can't speak
Well we've rolled in the hay, blowing cobwebs away
Drank through the night 'til past noon the next day
I could see it coming, that price that I'd pay
But I'd do it all again if only to hear her say...
Now time and again while I stifle the yearning
Wishing she were there as I wake up in the morning
It's the sweetest pain
Like throwing me a lifeline and I'm drowning all the same
And if it seems too bleak, we'll curl up together and whisper the words
It's the sweetest pain
Knocking down the walls meant that I let you in to my
Heart made of tin with it's dents beaten in.
My partner in crime, lover entwined.
Let's curl up together and...
