Let Me

I hear a distant train... coming round the bend
A moment, then a moment... between nothing and the end
You can keep me waiting, as long as you arrive
Endlessly fascinating, its keeping me alive
The grains of sand are slipping... there's no chance for reprieve.
I don't ask to be here, but now how could I leave?

I can't promise you a hundred years, I see no end to the tears
But I would take care of you, as long as you would let me

Turn out the lights, my darling,
it all comes from within, and you're making my head spin
Turn out the lights, now darling,
let the cats out and let that old dog back in.

I'll buy you dinner every now and then, pick you up when you say when
And never leave you alone again, as long as you would let me.
I can't promise you a hundred years, I see no end to the tears
But I would take care of you, as long as you would let me

Anything is possible, an antidote to pain
The memories we're making may be all that will remain
I've got nothing to lose... everything to gain
I don't need to understand what no one can explain
We may not be a perfect match, but, we might get along
Valentine, I ask you, how could that be wrong?

I'll buy you dinner every now and then, pick you up when you say when
And never leave you alone again, as long as you would let me.
I can't promise you a hundred years, I can't promise an end to tears
But I would take care of you, as long as you would let me
As long as you'd let me, as long as you'd let me, un huh.
