The Crying Tree Of Mercury

this is the song i've been singing my whole life 
i've been waiting like a knife 
to cut open your heart 
and bleed my soul to you 
i did it all for you 
you and you and you and you 

this is the sound i've been making my whole life 
i've been waiting for this night 
to clear up all the talk 
although i'm selfish to a fault 
is it selfish, it's you i want 
you, i did it all for you 

this love will stand as long as you 
there's really no excuse 
i did it all for you 

these are the tears i've been crying my whole life 
like an ocean of desire 
i'm reaching through the noise 
across the dusk of time 
within the lilting lights 
i am singing out to you
