What did I say to send you a rumbling past me

I was afraid I would lose you someday

Like I lost me that day

In all my dreams your face is hidden from me

Formless in some velvety shade

What were you hiding from?

Who were you hiding from?

I wanted to know

And what is done I can't leave it alone

I have to know I have to know I have to know

And just once just once just once did you love me once?

I've been ready

What did I say? oh no, what did I say?

And what did you want what did you want what did you want?

A life in the dark?

A life in the dark?

And what is done, I can't leave it alone

I didn't know I didn't know

But just once just once just once, did you love me once?

And just once just once just once, did you love me once?

I have been ready for so long

For so long for so long

And I'm not allowed the pity

But did I ever once pretend pretend pretend

And Isaac's barhopping

And Abraham is calling "who's next! who's next?"

And I'm fat and drowsy

I'm fat and drowsy

And I'm fed and drowsy

I'm fed and drowsy

I'll make you a bet, I'll make you bet

You knew it would wash away

In the crying and the gush

And the New England rain

But I'm not afraid

I'm not afraid

And just once just once just once

I could love you once

And just just once just once just once

I could love you once…

Once you loved me...
