Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The universe keeps singing this song
Your eyes are diabolical blue
Ooh
I've been watching you walk on the water lately
My arms outstretched when you do
[Verse 2]
What am I
[Verse 3]
What am I on the earth for
If not to put you to bed
If not to remind you to eat sometimes
If
If not to cradle your head
[Verse 4]
What am I without you
[Verse 5]
The universe keeps singing its song
I can't get it out of my head
It skips right along like a stone on water
And I think I know how it ends
[Verse 6]
The last eyes I wanna see
Are yours
Are brown and diabolical blue
They never once cried without laughing, baby
So I'll line up a zinger for you
[Verse 7]
That's what I'll do
Ooh
What am I without you
Ooh
What am I without you
What am I without you
What am I
