Before I jump ship, for cooler shores May I gently close this account of ours Though all that I know and have loved, is inside I'm just losing faith in these costly times And I pray for your health and your peace of mind But God must know I just want you by my side And the morning I've woken and sought your warmth If only I'd held you and told you before But I'm no fool, my heart is just exposed I'm just weathering the flows And I'm not the man you thought, I suppose You leave me tender to the blues And you phone me to tell me, of these regrets of yours But I've been lying awake until the small small hours And the wise men say I should fight for my cause But I'm all punched out and just so so tired But I'm no fool, my heart is just exposed I'm just weathering the flows And you're not the girl I thought, I suppose You leave me tender to the blues I'm no fool, my heart is just exposed I'm just weathering the flows And I'm not the man you thought, I suppose You leave me tender to the blues To the blues
