Shady Love

When I saw your face,
I thought you would be my biggest grace.
When I heard your voice
I thought you would be my greatest choice.
When I felt your kiss,
I thought you would be my love, to love like this...

But when I read the words of your soul,
I knew you were the biggest fool.
And when I saw your ass,
I knew you were my greatest to pass.

But when I felt your loss,
I knew you would be the frost
On my heart 
To be melted away slowly, day by day, in the sun, where we are far apart

Far away, somedays 
Are better
Some are worse, of course

I wanna let go
But I still want you and the snow
I just don't and won't go
To have my life and my love be a blow
Of smoke in my face
Only a trace
Of what existed in my head

All those lonely nights in my bed
You would never really be
The shady love I tried to hold; to be free
Is the only joy you needed
The trees in our throat 
Blocked the words never spoke
