inspired by a failed jam and guidance from my beloved friend Robin
lyrics
If I could tear the tears from my sorrow I would only weep with joy?
If I could sheer the years from tomorrow I wouldn't know what for?
If I repaid a day of your kindness I wouldn't ask for more.
No, I couldn't ask for more.
No, I won't ask for more.
If I could quell the wells of my sadness could I still be anyone?
If I controlled a hold on my passions, would it make me poor?
When I find an unexpected kindness I never know what for,
but I'm humbled all the more
and I love you even more.
If I compelled the tells of my habits I would no longer lie.
If I removed the ruse from my secrets I could no longer hide.
And if you dried my eyes with compassion, I could face you as I am.
Maybe be a better man
with the kindness from your hands.
