The way of the world
Has taken its toll
Ravaged my body
And bitten my soul

I am ruined by rain
Weathered by wind
I´ve been invaded
Without and within

And I ask
I am asking you
Asking you if you
Might still want me.

Once you said
I´m made of fine stuff.
But I´ve been corrupted.
And taken enough.

Now you appear.
Making your claim.
Inside my heart

Is the sign of your name.

And I ask
I am asking you
Asking you if you
Might still want me?

All these words
Like darling and angel and dear
Crowd my mouth
In a path to your ear.
The way of the world
Has taken it´s toll
Ravaged my body
Bitten my soul

And I ask
I am asking you

Asking you if you
Might still want me?

When I said:
I am bound to you forever
Here´s what I meant:
I am bound to you forever.
