Couldn't lend him to you forever

said the hard man from above

Made you to a giver and a savor

but also to a loser of love

Made your heart big enough to carry

every kind of pain

Made you to a dream for marriage

but also to someone I must drain

Gave your eyes the colour of an ocean

where anybody could drown

I'd swear an oath on your sterling friendship

but I will always let you down

In storms and rain it's hard to light the candle

and I'm sorry when it's snowing on his stone

The gravel-walk's so familiar with your footsteps

that's a sound that could make me leave the throne

Couldn't lend him to you forever

said the hard man from above
