A Piece of My Heart
I know we often feel the rub of loveÂÂÂ
that we don't always fit quite hand in gloveÂÂÂ
but we live inside of a mysteryÂÂÂ
and my heart often fails to containÂÂÂ
and I know that words are not enoughÂÂÂ
when I think of all the endless loveÂÂÂ
that you give to me in my time of needÂÂÂ
boy, it's high time these words were said [will sell]ÂÂÂ
ask for my hand you know I'll give itÂÂÂ
and if you're cold I give you warmthÂÂÂ
and I don't care if it's unfairÂÂÂ
'cause I would sacrifice myselfÃ

If You Intend
[ Merchant ]
If you intend to live again,
then open your eyes and don't pretend you're feeling there's nothing worth believing.
God, if you persist you'll die like this,
and wither in the midst of your first season,
cut down with no reason.
How can you be so near and not see everything?
If you intend to live again,
then take the outstreched hand of the one that needs you.
It's been so long, we've missed you.
Why do you intend to speed your end?
Lie in the dark and let your limbs grow weaker, sinking low then deeper.
How can you be so near and not see everything?
Feel what might be. See what I see.
Again and again and again and again say you don't.
You say you don't, but you will.
How can you be so near and not see?
