lyrics

The gentlest of spirits,
Had no sins upon her head,
But as the light was dying,
This is what she said:
“Take that man down off the wall,
I will not look at him,
He’s stared at me for all these years,
I cannot look at him no more,
I can’t bear to look at him”

Chorus
I’ll cry no more, no more, no more,
I’ll cry no more for you,
I have seen the far horizon,
And the sun is coming through,
I’ll cry no more, no more, no more,
I’ve paid all that was due,
I have seen the far horizon,
And I’ll cry no more for you.

“My love, my anchor,
You have forsaken me,
You took from me your comfort,
And set another free”,
When someone takes a part of you,
When someone walks away,
All you know is what they took,
And what they didn’t say to you,
The things they didn’t say.

Chorus

What’s it worth, every penny, every cent?
Each division, every reasoned settlement?
What’s it worth, to be stronger, to be free,
In control but with nowhere left to be,
When the soul of you was the soul of me,
And the whole of you was the whole of me?
