Would That It Were

Too tired to talk tonight

Drifting near and far from her

I know things will be all right

Now wouldn't that be grand

Would that it were

And so I sing a tuneless melody

Darkness looms like a sepulchre

I know your heart is still with me

But I'd feel better

Would that it were

You're not the easiest person to read

The last few days have been a blur

I'll be all that you ever need

Would you love me

Would that it were

Would that I knock upon your heavenly door

Would that it was tomorrow

Would that it were

That I was the one

Would that it were, but what if it ain't

And we still haven't found a cure

All I need's a fresh coat of paint

Would you love me

Would that it were

The weeds in the garden where my fear resides

So many things of which I'm so unsure

I've heard good hearts have angelic guides

Would you love me

Would that it were

Would that I knock upon your heavenly door

Would that it was tomorrow

Would that it were

That I was the one
