Place one finger under your eye ,
catch a tear and let it dry.
Grasp the moment now
and it's gone.
With the wild swans, yonder street,
light avenue
See it beckons me and you,
wander downtown, follow your shoes
Likely they know better than you
We've had an earthly chance,
yet somehow a second glance
She said, I read your paper there
Could we be insignificant others?
Now you could accuse me
Of courting despair
Forsaken for art's sake,
guilty as charged
But you could refuse me, I know
You'll do as you please
But may I call you sweetness
For you are my weakness
Yonder street light avenue
See it beckons me and you
Wander downtown, follow your shoes
Likely they know better than you
Without a chance
In somehow a second glance,
she said
I read your paper back
Could we be insignificant enough?
Now you could accuse me
I'm caught in despair, forsaken for art's sake, guilty as charged,
and you could refuse me, I know, you'll do as you please
May I call you sweetness,
you are my weakness
You are my weakness
You are my weakness
Yeah, yeah
You are my weakness
Oh that's the life!
