7. A thousand parts

You know my heart is in a thousand parts
And each one in its turn can break
You know that we have had a thousand starts
And each one more than I can take

But in my loneliness I feel my need of you
The things we want we cannot keep
And in my deep distress I send my call to you
And let it fall upon the deep

A man is sure a love is never long
And will come down upon his head
I try to fight but I am never strong
And meekly go where I am led

Take me on and take me away
Lead me on and lead me astray
Hold me down and hold me away
I’ve nothing to say
Nothing to say

You know I feel I’ve lived a thousand years
And each one in a second gone
We all say that we’ve had a thousand fears
It’s just a way of holding on
