Shaun Macgowan - I Almost Loved You lyrics

Across her body I fled. "You never knew" she said. All me listened, and listen still. "All things betray you – and I will". And in her hand sat my hand. Cold the sun and waters ran. As the deep called me up I named her as my love. I wandered half the night To cast a secret ring in fire. We'd been lovers only a short time Yet I stand, pretty in your mouth. You and the night slip by. You are incomplete without me. You were made great. How men left you. A dying star. I almost loved you.
