We almost got it together

And I'll be your favourite thing

Stand by the river with hard-luck eyes

And I'll just be open and sing

I was only trying to surprise

I wish I was like the frog-princess

And I'd never tell you lies

And down by the soil of the hard-life

They like to greet us with smiles

They like to tell us their good hostess

Had travelled a million miles

But you'd like it written closer

Yes, you'd like it written pure

If I told you this -

Would you miss my kiss?

No - you'd come right back for more



Oh, I'd like to be

What I want to be

But you want to carry on

But you need to take

What you have to take

But I'll still be here when you're gone



And there's a light by your window

And I'd like to capture you by there

And I'd like to hold you for all to see

But they don't really care

And if I said you're no peccadillo

Yes, I said you're a major thing

Would you stand by me?

At the corner dock

And say,
