A Slow Soul

You, you who have no one
There is nothing I can tell you that you need
You want for nothing
There is no-one I can show you any better

But each time you take it
It gets so hard, it gets so very hard to do
And each time we break it
Much greater than before

You, you heard all those sweet things
But you know too much to ever let it happen
You know how to listen
How to look and find there's no one worth your worry

And each time we wake up
It's every time I see there's somethin' left to do
You, who have nothing
Much greater than before

Don't want what you need
Don't need what you want
You better think twice and I'll call you at home
No one to blame
Not one single thing
There isn't something to make you go home
Know that I love you
But you don't understand
Know that I need you
But it's just much too bad

You, who have no one
Much greater than before
You, stuck in North London
All your days will drag and linger for a lifetime
You know too much, baby
Than to think his tender arms will make it better

'Cause it's gonna beat you
You've seen too much to ever get to feel at ease
And you can't get away baby, oh no
As easy as before

Please don't settle for less
You're the only thing I'm sure I really need
And I guess you get lonely
But I know your heart won't settle for a second

But you got more sickness
It gets so hard it gets so very hard to do
And you got more sadness, oh yeah
Much greater than before
But please, oh don't forget oh no
Oh no
Oh no
