I Really Wanted You - Steve Tilston

well, strike me down if you wish

for never wanting you for long

seasons turn, oh, so do I though empty promises fool my songs

a cold wind’s bending the morning

and the backroad bears the pain

i came with the gift of a newday

see, I leave with a gift of rain

and see two leaves falling

see they kiss then drift away

and it’s true, i really wanted you

and it’s true, i really wanted you

just yesterday…

I can see your eyes made for their crying

like a star was made to shine

my face was meant to bear knowledge

empty promises, fool lies

and see two leaves falling

see they kiss then drift away

and it’s true, i really wanted you

and it’s true, I really wanted you

just yesterday…

so let us strike out

touch the new day

let our bruises meet there

like them, the rain has forsaken

we will need the greatest care

and see two leaves falling

see they kiss, then drift away

and it’s true, I really wanted you

and it’s true, I really wanted you

just yesterday…

strike me down if you wish

for not wanting you for long

seasons turn, so do I though empty promises fool my songs
