So many people fall in love
And i laugh of them for being dumb
And then i turn around and eat my crow.
If you don't understand that phrase
Maybe i can add a phrase
In other words: the joke's on me
Because
I never cared much for owning things
For fancy cars, or diamond rings
But i knew i had to have you, kate
Kate, when i met you,
You had everything that i need
Now you're gonne
And i miss you terribly
When we grow old it won't be long
I'll write a book and sell my songs
Making just enough to keep us poor
I'll have an empty flat with just one room
And an old swing bed with space for two
Take me or leave me, babe
It's all i got
If you stay with me and eat a while
A loaf of bread, a glass of wine
I know its all on me but you are
Kate, when i met you,
You had everything that i need
Now you're gonne
And i miss you terribly
But i feel someway that i'll come up sure
You'll realize i'm not the sort of boy you want
To call your name
You'll get tired of the empty shells
When i'm trying out here to make it for myself
Will you stand by me even if i fail?
You know i loved you from the start
When you wrapped your fingers around my heart
And you torn that big thing in two
I'm just waiting for when the time is right
To ask you kate if you'll be my wife
And then we'll paint the world like two lovers do
'cause kate i'm so tired of missing you
Oh kate… i'm so tired of missing you
