Elvis Costello - Sweet Pear Lyrics

Send "Sweet Pear" Ringtone to Cell Phone

Sweet pear, sweet pear 
Those who say they love you would never dare 
I'll watch out for you 
I'll always be there 
In the hour of distress you need not fear 
In all the world there's only one true love 
And finding it's hard enough 
I bless whatever's in the sky above 
For bringing you to me 

But there's a void without your kiss 
I wake on the precipice above the abyss 
And though the touch of your lips these fears dismiss 
Make no mistake there is an ache I have to live with 

Was my grip too lose, my grip too strong 
That made you want to run away 
And now you're back where I pretend you belong 
I wonder every night and day 
How long 

I swear this is my prayer 
till we're burned and scattered in the atmosphere 
Or lost in the world across a crowded room 
I am your stupid lover, your wretched groom
