[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Before I jump ship for cooler shores
May I gently close this account of ours?
Through 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 minds
But God must know I just want you by my side
And the mornings I’ve woken and sought your warmth
If only I'd held you and told you before
[Instrumental Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
But I'm no fool, my heart’s 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
[Verse 2]
And you phoned me to tell me all thesе regrets of yours
But I've been lying awakе until the small, small hours
And the wise man say I should fight for my cause
But I'm all punched out and I'm just so, so tired
[Instrumental Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
But I'm no fool, my heart's 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’s 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
[Outro]
To the blues
