Do you keep for a relic Every ticket in your pocket For a time you eed reminding Of the wedding and the binding? Will you cherish every barb That caught you soft and unprotected Like a souvenir collected Of the harrow and the hiding? You are more than the sum Of the numbers you've been done And it fits to be kind Even as your chest is bleeding And may love reign supreme in your heart Hold on to what you know You light the room, you give it all Take with you when you go The smile that you've been sketching On my face And if you slip again The nearest truth is when you do And as you slip away I'm waiting here For everything to change WIll you write me a card when you Reach your destination? I won't take it as a white flag Or a sign of hesitation Just a temporary token I'll be keeping in my pocket WIth a Biro and a lighter 'til it smacks of desperation We are more than the sum Of the numbers we've been done And it's right to be kind Even as your chest is bleeding And may love reign supreme in your heart May love reign supreme in your heart Hold on to what you know You light the room You give it all Take with you when you go The smile that you've been Sketching on my face And if you slip again The nearest truth is when you do And as you slip away I'm waiting here For everything to change
