For Somebody To Love (LIVE)

from Pretty by David Owens

lyrics

I swore I’d take the high road
And leave to where the night goes
Throw out all these old clothes
Oh I swore I’d had enough
Never fond of learning
To here I keep returning
Every day still yearning
For somebody to love

I met her in the Winter
Mountain top and thin air
Log cabin and blonde hair
Like someone I adore
I kissed her by the fire
She called myself a liar
All those years I never
Mentioned this before


I promised her I’d be there
I promised her I’d still care
Even with her grey hair
Still hold her by the hand
I promised her I’d love her
I promised her I’d love her
Said I know I’m just a fool but
I’ll try to be your man

Three months we were happy
Never going back, we
Found all our problems
But fixed them with a smile
But slowly they kept coming
Til her heart wasn’t running
And one day she told me
“Let’s not talk for a while”

I haven’t seen her since then
No I haven’t kissed her since then
She sent me on a message
“Can’t do this any more”
I hung my head in silence
I drank til there was silence
I I promised I would never
Another heart adore

I swore I’d take the high road
And leave to where the night goes
Back to being alone
Oh I swore I’d had enough
Never fond of learning
To here I keep returning
Every day still yearning
For somebody to love
