Sugarlow

sugarlow, a tear upon your cheek
mirror shows a freak
your constitution's weak

sugarlow, put your head upon my chest
still you never rest
i haven't passed your test
 
you complain about me overwhelming you
and the sea overwhelming you
love's overwhelming you again
always on about dust overwhelming you
and my trust overwhelming you
love's overwhelming you again, again

sugarlow a bride without a groom
a plant that has no room
the flower doesn't bloom

sugarlow a deck that's missing cards
think it's the queen of hearts
the game just never starts
 
you complain about me overwhelming you
and the sea overwhelming you
love's overwhelming you again
always on about dust overwhelming you
and my trust overwhelming you
love's overwhelming you again, again

sugarlow bite the hand that feeds you
poke out the eyes that see through
can't see that there's no need to
 
why don't you just take me as I am here
i'm not the thing that you fear
it's safe to let me near

tell that it's the sky overwhelming you
and what it implies overwhelming you
love's overwhelming you again
say that everything's wrong in overwhelming you
and this song's overwhelming you
love's overwhelming you again, again
