Would You Believe Me?

Would you believe me if I told you

For four long years you kept the wolf from my door

For four long years you kept my feet upon the floor

And now you’re crying

Would you believe me if I told you

That my mind had changed me

That I rearranged me

And now you’re crying.

And it’s a long, long way

It’s such a long, long way

So many turnings, so many turnings.

Would you believe me if I told you

That I’m sorry for the logic in the lies

That I’ve found by complete surprise

The truth

Would you believe me if I told you

That I didn’t want to lose you

That’s why I had to bruise you

So sad.

And it’s a long, long way

It’s such a long, long way

So many turnings, so many turnings.

Would you believe me if I told you

When I said that I could marry you

I surely didn’t mean to carry you

To here

Would you believe me if I told you

That at twenty years young and all

You simply have got no control

Of the time.

And it’s a long, long way

Such a long, long way

So many turnings, so many turnings.

Would you believe me if I told you

For four long years you kept the wolf from my door

For four long years you kept my feet upon the floor

And now you’re crying.
