Fight Fair

Fight Fair

I want to love you, but you don’t fight fair
I need to need you, but you just don’t care
Take my arms, take my legs
Your heart’s so cold, you just don’t fight fair

I won’t make, no drawings in the sand
Life won’t wait, or take you by the hand
I’m no diamond, what you get is what you see
Don’t need no book tell me how to be free

Chorus

Those early hours, when we are all alone
Too soon to wake, too late to roam
Our minds race, to everything but deepest sleep
No problems solved, nothing to keep

Chorus

It’s not your time, but what more can I say
I’ve no more words, to make you face another day
If you live, too close to the edge of life
One push too far, you may slip on that knife

I want to love you, but you don’t fight fair
I need to need you, but you just don’t care
Take my arms, take my legs
Your heart’s so cold, you just don’t fight fair
Take my arms, take my legs
Your heart’s so cold, but you’ll never take my soul

(My memories of Monty Python’s Holy Grail scene somehow intertwined with the story of a desperately sad one-sided situation)
