You Have Been Loved
She takes the back road and the lanePast the school that has not changedIn all this timeShe thinks of when the boy was youngAll the battles she had wonJust to give him life
That manShe loved that manFor all his lifeBut now we meet to take him flowersAnd only god knows why
For what's the use in pressing palmsWhen children fade in mother's armsIt's a cruel worldWe've so much to loseAnd what we have to learn, we rarely choose
So if it's god who took her sonHe cannot be the one living in her mind
Take care my love, she saidDon't think that god is deadTake care my love, she said
You have been loved
If I was weak, forgive meBut I was terrifiedYou brushed my eyes with angels wings, full of loveThe kind that makes devils cry
So these daysMy life has changedAnd I'll be fineBut she just sits and counts the hoursSearching for her crime
For what's the use in pressing palmsIf you won't keep such love from harmIt's a cruel worldYou've so much to prove
And heaven help the ones who wait for you
Well I've no daughters, I've no sonsGuess I'm the only oneLiving in my life
Take care my love, he saidDon't think that God is deadTake care my love, he said
You have been loved
