With a cup of dusty water by her bedside
And please don't say you love me,
if you don't truly mean it
Cause words they lose their meaning,
when you use them too much
And I spend my weeks waiting,
When you come round and see me,
and we drink wine from cups
The embrace of the family,
Oh, the embrace of the family,
That once hung around your face
That once cradled fools and fees
and please don't say you love me
If you don't truly mean it
Cause words they lose their meaning
When you use them too much
For those Friday evenings
When you come round and see me
And we drink wine from cups
The embrace of the family,
When the embrace of the family,
What do you know of the strength?
What do you know of the wall?
What do you know of your back,
your arms, your legs, your lips, your eyes?
Oh, your eyes, those pretty eyes
What do you know of your strength
What do you know of your warmth
What do you know of your back
Your arms, your legs, your lips
What do you know of the strength
What do you know of the strength
You know nothing of the strength
You know nothing of the strength
What do you know of the strength
What do you know of the strength
You know nothing of the strength
You know nothing of the strength
