Weakness

Weakness - Lloyd Cole

Written by：Lloyd Cole

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 could I call you sweetness

For you are my weakness

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 could I call you sweetness

For you are my weakness

You are my weakness

You are my weakness

You are my weakness
