4. Love Ridden

Love ridden, I’ve looked at you
With the focus I gave to my birthday candles.
I’ve wished on the lidded blue flames
Under your brow
And baby, I wished for you.
Nobody sees when you are lying in your bed
And I wanna crawl in with you,
But I cry instead.
I want your warmth, but it will only make
Me colder when it's over,
So I can’t tonight, baby.

No, not ‘baby’ anymore.
If I need you,
I’ll just use your simple name.
Only kisses on the cheek from now on.
And in a little while, we’ll only have to wave.

My hand won’t hold you down no more.
The path is clear to follow through.
. I stood too long in the way of the door
And now I’m giving up on you.

No, not ‘baby’ anymore.
If I need you,
I’ll just use your simple name.
Only kisses on the cheek from now on.
And in a little while, we’ll only have to wave.

No, not ‘baby’ anymore.
If I need you,
I’ll just use your simple name.
Only kisses on the cheek from now on.
And in a little while, we’ll only have to wave.
