lyrics

I have squandered a lot - another foolish attempt to make love out of thoughts
What we’re willing to trade for the warmth of another, the hope for an always
Good will is lost on this one, and I want but I don’t and I try but it won’t be made

Anything but what it is, I need much more than this and you don’t need no one at all
Anything is what I’d take to not feel like yesterday’s ‘might have been’
Kiss me again and say I’ve not squandered it all

You were a light I had never seen - a face for the free shoved down inside of me
You made me feel like a real girl, and your laughter expressed my delight for the world
All of my ideals are so lost on this one, and I want but I don’t and I try but it won’t be made

We all wish for our dreams to come true and I hate that my dreams were just one size to big for you
And I would do well to guard who I am - don’t need to be what you want and I don’t need no man
Because I’m not beautiful to you anymore anyhow
And still I want but I don’t and I try but it won’t be made

"Quite apart from that this album is extraordinary on its own merits there are few artists willing to expose their talents to such a sparse instrumental background, and you need to listen to it and discover its beauty for yourself."
