So it began, knowing I'd dread
That ginger root, that fallen bed
I knew those words were coming,
That sore throat, my inner lion
Raised my head to the shuddered breath
Thinking, I could hear her
But it's a universal game we play
That could not but remain
I'm trying this back to back
Didn't want to throw it away
Unraveling the mess, unrav eling
We're hollowed aside to see
Take things as if we don't need it
No one should know or see me like this
I heard no one could hear
But it's all the same for you and me
You try to nurse it back to health
Do not want to throw it away
So now I realize, so now I see,
so now I realize, so now I see
Don't I realize, don't I see,
