Leadlight

I was once a Sunday kneeler

When I saw the leadlight

Fall from the pane

I didn't know that the grass

Was not only greener

Upkeep is cheaper

When you embrace the rain

So I jumped down to lay

With my leadlight

Under your spotlight

I lay with the shards

And I didn't know that the ground

Was not only harder

Oh but colder

When you are not around

I love you my darling, I do

But I can't let possession make a fool of you

I love you my darling, I do

But I can't promise I'll be here

To see this whole love through

So I ran with dreams to reach the skyline

Straight up that incline, I ran towards the blue

And I didn't know that the sky

Is not only wider

Oh but clearer

When I'm standing next to you

I love you my darling, I do

But I can't let possession make a fool of you

I love you my darling, I do

But I can't promise I'll be here

To see this whole love through

Oh, I believe in trust, you see

But don't you go and put your trust in me

I cost more than you earn

So tell me boy, why didn't you ever learn

I love you my darling, I do

But I can't let possession make a fool of you

I love you my darling, I do

But I can't promise I'll be here

To see this whole love through
