Assurance

I've seen the way you look at me

I've seen you waiting patiently

I'm fine... well, i lied

If what we are is feeling low

I'd fear this if i had a soul

But you're still mine

I was afraid of being chained

I found a woman who could mend and bend

All of my deepest insights and thoughts

And it's just one more round, one more

One more round then i'm done

But you need assurance that

Everything's gonna be fine

'cause you're just a woman who's

Everything good in my life

Though we'd been over, weeping over,

Our last goodbyes.

I have learned to live with these fatal gifts,

And still you're mine, so i'm...

And i wrote you this song

But you won't sing along to me

Sing tir na li

The memories that used to be

Are carved into a sweet gum tree

Outside my place, where i touched your face

And it was...

One more round, one more

One more round, than I'd loved before.

Still you need assurance that everything's gonna be fine

'cause you're just the women who's everything good in my life

And though we've been over, weeping over

Our last goodbyes

I've learned to live with these fatal gifts

And still you're mine

So i... so i wrote you this song

But you won't sing along to me

To sing tir na li
