This was written in my living room for myself and for Brent Hiscock
lyrics
I am a coward in matters of love
I have no tolerance for those who won't move when I shove
but when I seem invulnerable how fragile I am
When I am intolerable, who can tell me I am?
and if I am so strong, who is strong enough to hold my hand?
++
Oh, where has my heart gone?
Can I hear the wind?
And if a fortune falls
in my favour
is it me?Was it me?
Is it me? Was it me?
++
So, remember
The heart in your mind
It makes sense to be kind
It makes sense to be kind.
++
And you are my wonder
you pretty lil' thing
and if the fortunes fall
in my favour
it was we it was me it was we.
++
And Remember the heart in your mind
it makes sense to be kind
It makes sense It makes sense
to be kind.
++
So, don't be a coward
in matters of love
and have the patience to
unlearn Unlearn
when push comes to shove
and If I seem invulnerable:
Won't you take off my shell?
If I am intolerable, please won't you tell?
And if I seem so strong
be strong enough to hold my hand
and remember
remember.
