As you take off your clothes
At the end of another weary day
You look better to my eyes than ever.
And sometimes you need some reassurance,
Well, rest assured you'll be as sexy as hell forever.
Through the heartbreaks
And lies
I still see in your eyes
You're dreaming,
Still dreaming.
As you take off your make up
And become shy again like a child
Worrying over things that have flown
I must remember that for all your experience
You can feel frightened and vulnerable and alone.
Oh, I see the madness
And the wine
And the partings
And the brine
And the children
...The children
