Sweet without the sugar's edge He talked so happily Four drinks separated My behaviour and me When he slipped the final blow I fell into the impact Refrain: We were only a motion Though tenderly played It's easier now for him No attempt was even made He loves you now Tales slipped out his memory And easy through his mouth Guess that just his way of Smoothing these things out Finally we spared each other The labour of regret 'Cause that's too hard Refrain Guess I'll just remember His hands clean of jewelery We always had respect I'd be stupid to turn it into sympathy One day when he took his life jacket off I always thought he'd offer it to me I can't help myself Refrain
