Martha wainwright wandering eyes lyrics

Would you care not standing so close

I've got a promise that I gotta keep

And I can't host

The idea of you & me engaged in a kiss

It's too dangerous & would be a mess



Cause I can't, you see

Someone's in love with me

And I with he

So very deeply



But when things get so goddamn deep

One has the tendency to feel somewhat weak

And grasp for air & want to be free

Of the clenches of love which have a taste that is bittersweet



Cause I can't, you see

Someone's in love with me

And I with he

So very deeply



Wandering eyes can bring so much fault

Especially when they wander too far from their home

And meeting other wandering eyes

When all those are only just a fight



So would you care standing away from me

I don't want to be set free

I have realized now that everything is a compromise

And the grass is no greener on the other side



Cause I can't, you see

Someone's in love with me

And I with he

So very deeply



If there were an elixir

I'd find the mixture

And I'd make myself a pitcher

And I with he
