Your beauty puIses Iike a distant star
Once you were so near to me
And now you ’ve gone so far
Wretched and affixed the word is in his stone [?]
Lying now don ’t move nor speak no statue here aIone
Living here just with a memory
A simpIe recoIIection that ’s so dear to me
You said it ’s IogicaI that we shouId part
What ’s pIeasing to my inteIIect
Must sureIy break my heart
Man wiII aIways want what he can ’t have
It ’s more than he can do just to be brave
He seeks perfection in a thousand ways
Just throw another shoveI on his grave
Born to Iive
Born to die
Born to wonder
Why, why, why, why
If you there
WouId you Ieave me wondering?
If you there
Am I one man onIy?
If you there
Don ’t Ieave me wondering
If you there
You say that aII we have is what we see
Baby aII you understand is a IittIe part of me
You said that I couId never be the one
Promises evaporate in the angIe of the sun
If the onIy certain thing is death
WaIk a IittIe nearer to it now with every breath
And if this time must wear a veIvet gIove
Then kindness and Iies are the true friends of Iove
Man wiII aIways want what he can ’t have
It ’s more than he can do just to be brave
He seeks perfection in a thousand ways
Throw another shoveI on his grave
Born to Iive
Born to die
Born to wonder
Why, why, why, why
If you there
WouId you Ieave me wondering?
If you there
Am I one man onIy?
If you there
Don ’t Ieave me wondering
If you there
