...all trees learn to bend - for if they stand, unmoving, they just get broken by the wind...

They said I looked so well, they said I took the stage in style I'd found a new charisma that would make the critics smile They came to weep with Columbine - I tried to give 'em clown I didn't mind 'em laughing - you were there when I fell down.... CHORUS: But I'd rather that I never sang another song Or that my eyes would stay forever blind than know I'll never waken by your side again... I'd rather that a madness took this mind of mine... much rather that a madness took my mind.  You said I changed your life - you said I let your mind go free You held me in the night and took the loneliness from me And we made love every morning and how you smiled when it grew light. And nobody can tell me that that loving wasn't right... CHORUS: And I'd rather that I never sang another song Or that my eyes would stay forever blind than know I'll never waken by your side again... I'd rather that a madness took this mind of mine... much rather that a madness took my mind. Tell me - what is this quest - this so Holy Grail - you think I should be searching for? I've had my ambitions and now I can see I've achieved so much more Just looking at my life, taking the best part, making it yours...... was worth ten thousand concerts played to ten thousand people and all their applause! I know you've got your reasons for saying it has to end... But minds can change like seasons. All trees learn to bend - for if they stand, unmoving, they just get broken by the wind as I now stand here, broken - by a mind that will not bend CHORUS: And I'd rather that I never sang another song Or that my eyes would stay forever blind than know I'll never waken by your side again... I'd rather that a madness took this mind of mine... much rather that a madness took my mind... and I'm thinking now a madness HAS my mind............ |
