Can't Afford

It's a bass, played like an acoustic guitar. And a flute, played on the electric guitar. And a voice. Or two. Turns out I can't afford this love this love is bought too dear i left to face it all too late by then my chance had disappeared Turns out that all we had was love and love is not enough my living is too thin my lover cannot bridge the gulf. Had your fun rewrote your rules got to see your far flung roads still all the things you never did are now the things you'll never know. I know what it sounds like that's the idea, right? you like things dark so i got me a soft light do you still think i'm just hard, girl? maybe that's a face i put on for the outside world. Turns out I'm turned all inside out my skin feels so raw heart is beating out my chest hosannas every breath i draw Turns out true lovers never lend turns out I've never been so poor turns out I'm wealthy until I end because everything I am is yours. by me, Richard Grove, 2007.
