An Ounce of Your Love
[Intro]
I would stand up and declare in front of God,
And all the angels up above.
That you can keep all the wealth of this pitiful world.
Just give me an ounce of your love.
[Verse]
Twelve summer solstices watching and waiting,
never saying a single word
The tranquil waters of her fountain of love, ran so still,
that he never heard.
[Bridge]
Her heart yearning, the desire burning,
but her mouth? Woefully empty and dry
The fear of rejection, it was far safer never to try.
[Interlude]
Shipwrecked on an island,
shackled in silence,
building an eternal shrine.
Suffering interminably,
watching him dating,
all the other girls waiting in line.
[Bridge]
To have been auspiciously daring,
carelessly saying “how are you doing today?”
Would have ended her plight,
of four thousand nights,
Girl, it was all you had to say.
[Interlude]
At times she ponders, dreamily wonders,
about the sanity of her judgement call
Maybe it would have been better
to try, and fail,
than to never try at all
Maybe it would have been better
to try, and fail,
than to never try at all
Maybe it would have been better
to try, and fail,
than to never try at all
Maybe it would have been better
to try, and fail,
than to never try at all
[Outro]
