LYRIC FOR SALE

By John Boyle

I thought it was simple
Well at least that's how it seemed
I gave you my wishes
I made you my dream
To love you forever
And never to part
But now somebody else
Lays claim to your heart

To love you and lose you
Was my biggest crime
Without you I'm punished and serving my time
I live for parole
And the chance it might be
To love you and hold you
And swear forever faithful to be

For now it feels like it's raining
Even when the sun is out
It's cold and lonely
All the while you're not about
Wishing and wondering tis all I can do
Can you ever forgive me
Must I always be blue

Simple simple
I thought it could be
If I made a promise
Then you'd be set free
Slowly slowly the years were unkind
To love you and lose you
Is such a long time
And simple put simply
I'm out of my mind

And now it feels like it's raining
Even when the sun is out
It's cold and lonely
Now that you're not about
Wishing and wondering tis all I can do
Will you ever forgive me
Or must I always be blue
