Lover's Cross

(앨범: Madrugada - 1974)

I guess that it was bound to happen
Was just a matter of time
Now I've come to my decision
And it's a-one of the painful kind
'Cause now it seems that you wanted a martyr
Just a regular guy wouldn't do
But baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you

You really gotta hand it to ya
'Cause girl you really tried
But for ev'ry time that we spent laughing
There were two times that I cried
And you were trying to make me your martyr
And that's the one thing I just couldn't do
'Cause baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you

'Cause tables are meant for turning
And people are bound to change
And bridges are meant for burning
When the people and mem'ries they join aren't the same

Still I hope that you can find another
Who can take what I could not
He'll have to be a super guy
Or maybe a super god
'Cause I never was much of a martyr before
And I ain't 'bout to start nothing new
And baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you

'Cause tables are meant for turning
And people are bound to change
And bridges are meant for burning
When the people and mem'ries they join aren't the same

But I hope that you can find another
Who can take what I could not
He'll have to be a super guy
Or maybe a super god
'Cause I never was much of a martyr before
And I ain't 'bout to start nothing new
And baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you
