Letra de Love By Degrees

You sit across from me babe with big hopes in your eyes
But i don't know why
You keep the fire lit babe
You keep it stoked and strong
Even though i'm gone
Even though i'm long long long gone
I sit up in the hills babe
I can't tell you how you take each brutal may
I'm too scared to be kind and i'm seein' deeper signs
In you're desires
In your long long long desires
And i can't say i that don't love you babe
Cause love is by degrees
And the fire that burns in those deep eyes babe
It has gone
Long gone as can be
We used to be in love babe we didn't have a dime but
We did fine
You used to share my bed babe you shared everything of mine
Once upon a time
Once upon a long long long time
[Chorus]
Cause absence don't make anything fonder
Except for freedom and being alone
We could live in sin all over again
But deep in our hearts we both know
That this is over
A long long time ago
You know i can't deny it babe
You'll always have a part in this boys heart
But if your saving out for me babe
I tell it to you straight its gonna be a wait
Its gonna be a long long long wait
[Chorus]
