Just As Well

Their bodies lost borders, the night lost its dark
In the cold heat of winter, their hearts hit their mark
He said 'I may be strong, but be gentle, I'm weary and low'

When she lay beneath him, sometimes she cried
And said, 'baby, this love makes me so terrified
My heart is so dark, and my candle blew out long ago'

He said, 'it's useless to mention, cos it's not your fault
But you promised that you'd never leave me, is all
And I told you that I couldn't lay beside anyone else'

But please love another, and love her just as well
Just as well

She never favoured sleeping alone
Although he didn't mind being there on his own
Till he saw a strand of hair on the place where she once laid her head

He said 'it's useless to mention, cos it's not your fault
But you promised that you'd never leave me, is all
And I told you that I couldn't lay beside anyone else'

But please love another, and love her just as well
Just as well

It's useless to mention, cos it's not your fault
But you promised that you'd never leave me, is all
And I told you that I couldn't lay beside anyone else

And she said, 'you'll move right along along in your time
Love me fiercely forever and all will be fine
But please love another, and love her just as well
Oh please love another, and love her just as well
Just as well'
