Guenivere

I had time to see that you meant so much to me
But you was looking for, looking for a better kind of dream
And I did nothing to make you leave
But I did nothing to make you stay
Always looking for, looking for the quiet getaway

You were my Guenivere
You were in my life
It was out of sight
And I miss you being here
You said you'd see me around

I can not maintain, I don't have that kind of brain
I'm just looking for, looking for a way to not go insane
I might be too good at staying home
Or too damn good at being alone
Now I'm so afraid, so afraid I'll end up on my own

My darling Guenivere
You were in my life
It was out of sight
And I miss you being here
You said you'd see me around

And I believe we could be something real
And something really strong
And something unafraid
And I believe we still could be something good
The day we can't do wrong
The day we came of age
Oh we lost everything

I can't get along
Without singing all these songs
I'm just looking for, looking for a way to carry on
At night I'm dreaming of your face
And I'm missing your embrace
There's so many things, many things time never will erase

Of you my Guenivere
You were in my life
It was out of sight
And I miss you being here
You said you'd see me around
