You were a buyer of life and love affair

I was a window shopper extraordinaire

I'd emptied my pockets

And found I had nothing to give to the newcomer

Idealist in love, in life you were practical

In love I was practical, in life I had no idea

You made me nervous

And I made you scared to be you

You were so normal and loved me so dearly

I wasn't normal and wanted to love you

So you held on strongly

And I held on desperately

You were a garden in bloom on a summers day

I was a shell my soul long washed away

You held on strongly

And I was too weak to let go when I should have

You were an ocean so calm on a summers day

I was a leaky boat, not fit for sailing

You gave me anchor

And I threw the line back to you

You were so normal and loved me so dearly

I wasn't normal and wanted to love you

So you held on strongly

And I held on so desperately

Locked in a room that my head built around me

You asked for the key to the door of this barricade

I held on strongly

And told you I threw it away long ago...

You were a giver of self and a thousand smiles

I was a thief in the night at the Royal Court

You bled so freely

And I drank the blood like a helpless Dracula

You were a woman so stately and beautiful

I was a child who cried in the winter time

You were a steamtrain

That carried me safely back home.

You were so normal and loved me so dearly

I wasn't normal and wanted to love you

So you held on strongly

And I held on so desperately
