The Tiger & Me - A Want That You Wouldn't lyrics

[Verse 1] You are the light You are the one that I reach for in the night My bonny, my lovely, my one [Verse 2] You are the sweetest thing The quiet that calls to the trouble within But I see something dark ahead, I'm closing my eyes-- [Chorus] I'll leave the stars to the glittering night And gladly remember a want that you wouldn't Stray from reason, staged by fate One hand on the bottle, one pointing the way We are all of us drifting down to an early grave [Verse 3] We kept back the cold We were warm from the fever inside of our bones But so foolish to think we were safe for the night We're not here alone-- [Chorus] I'll leave the stars to the glittering night And gladly remember a want that wouldn't Holding the needle close to her chest I'm guiding the hand of the one you love best As the phone is ringing at the library reception desk (La da da da, la da da da, aaaah, la da da dah) [Outro] I'll make for the harbour Under the light of the dying sun I will walk towards the drifter's dawn for you, my darling...
