Weakness

(альбом: Etc. - 2001)

Place one finger under your eye
Catch a tear and let it dry
Grasp the moment now and it's gone
With the wild swans

Yonder streetlight avenue
See it beckons me and you
Wander downtown, follow your shoes
Likely they know better than you

Without an earthly chance
But somehow a second glance
She said "I read your paperback"
Could we be insignificant others?

You could accuse me of courting despair
Forsaken for art's sake, guilty as charged
You could refuse me, I know
You'll do as you please
But may I call you Sweetness?
For you are my weakness

You are my weakness
You are my weakness
Yeah yeah...
You are my weakness...
