Ever
I've been racing for you honeyBut you take your loveFrom under my feetThe very moment I arriveI hold the invitation in my handYou smile and I don't understandWhen you tell me the writing ain't yoursYou were the one thing I could count onEven if your apathy was what I expectedOh darling I waited and waited to feel your footstepsAnd to hear your breathBut maybe I just wanted someone to wait for
[CHORUS]You were ever in my mindYou were behind my soul each timeI held it to the flameYou were ever in my precious thoughtsI'd leave a room of angelsJust to be aloneIf only to say your nameI never told you I needed you darlingLike a rose needs the rainHow could you possibly know how muchSo I reach for your loveLike the moon and the starsEver in my sightEver out of touch
There's a spotlight of a holy kindThink it comes from somewhereUp in the sky or from some far off lovely placeBut this light never ever ever shone on meAt least as far as I could seeSo I sat in the dark and I watched youNow I just cry to myselfWhen there's no one aroundAnd I teach myself to walk backwardsOut of any given situationYes I can be graceful and tryNot to step on my train andYou don't have to say goodbyeBut I'll be right here if you want to
[CHORUS]
Now I could paint your portraitIf I never saw you againWhen I am old someone may ask meIf I ever lovedAnd I will speak but they won't recognizeMy words, they'll say I'm telling liesAnd maybe I amMaybe I amAll I know is
[CHORUS]
