I saw you leave the cities one day,
You were so afraid, you were so afraid
Bathing in a pool of your sweaty tears
You ain't aged in years, you ain't aged in years
I, I made a mattress for you out of my body
Mine's the sheets and I, I
Haven't words to say to you
To make you feel much better
I want you to be, I want you to be,
I want you to be there
I want you to be, I want you to be,
I want you to be here
Oh darling,
How can I lift these worries from my heart?
These worries from my heart?
Whoa, my darling,
It seems we're all grown to nothing but shadow
To nothing but shadow
I made a blanket of my hair
You are so sweet and thin
You are so damn thin
With your anchors gone
You are floating to free
I could not foresee, I could not foresee
I, I made a mattress for you out of my body
Mine's the sheets and I, I
Haven't words to say to you
To make you feel much better
Oh darling,
How can I lift these worries from my heart?
These worries from my heart?
Whoa, my darling,
It seems we're all grown to nothing but shadow
To nothing but shadow, oh oh
