you and I, we make a grand salute   stare at each other like lost little birds across the room   and I remember the way you looked   I learned how to dance, but I'd never shown it to you      my love   I know I was wrong   but you know that you'll always be   my love   stay for a while   while our leaves are still green   please, for me      I know I tried, but it's hard sometimes   the roots don't take, it takes a while   and you pull at the strings   but they're broken, it seems   the dance isn't over for me, no      my love   I know I was wrong   but you know that you'll always be   my love   stay for a while   while our leaves are still green   please, for me
