So many years the last time I knew The smell of your hair, the way that you move A crack in the glass would kill me at last If I were a luckier man My hearing's no good, fingers grown old Too numb to feel, too tired to hold But here in my chair I'll soon feel your stare If I were a luckier man I waste eternity watching the walls And wait for my luck to change With open eyes I compromise Watching every moment escape And so I persist, and still I remain A part of you once, that will never change But a star's gravity could bring you to me If I were a luckier man
