Sweet pear, sweet pear    Those who say they love you would never dare    I'll watch out for you    I'll always be there    In the hour of distress you need not fear    In all the world there's only one true love    And finding it's hard enough    I bless whatever's in the sky above    For bringing you to me       But there's a void without your kiss    I wake on the precipice above the abyss    And though the touch of your lips these fears dismiss    Make no mistake there is an ache I have to live with       Was my grip too lose, my grip too strong    That made you want to run away    And now you're back where I pretend you belong    I wonder every night and day    How long       I swear this is my prayer    till we're burned and scattered in the atmosphere    Or lost in the world across a crowded room    I am your stupid lover, your wretched groom
