woke up on tuesday with the sun and suspicions of deeds
committed monday, just for fun, but the whistle of reeds
made me remember, triggering this hollow feeling she
rolled over slowly, started in to peeling back the three
last words that you had said
they started running around my head
it's as far as you make it
i give you mine and you take it
and i let you
forgiven wednesday for the lies but concealing the pain
in telling you, i surmised, i had nothing to gain
my eyes revealed it, but you would not accuse me of sin
her tender touches rolled over me in places you've been
and i could not help myself
now i understand how you felt
it's as far as you make it
i give you mine and you take it
and i let you
"it's just a shade of meaning," is what you said
just like the painting hanging over the bed
take it off the wall, don't want to see it all
reminding me of my mistakes again
i can see her but she wants to be a drifter and i
try to keep her, tell her i was such a misfit but she
sees right through me, hearing through the thicket the train
take off my glasses and handed her the ticket the rain
falls from my eyes again
i hear it pulling around the bend
it's as far as you make it
i give you mine and you take it
and i let you
it's as far as you make it
i give you mine and you take it
don't come to me if you break it
and i let you
