It's more than I can do

It’s more than I can do

Not to fall in love with you

It’s all my hopes comes true

All my horizons turned clear blue

It’s more than I can do

In the course of a true love’s affection

I have pursed my lips and followed your direction

But to keep on after you

Well it’s more than I can do

Beyond the night time’s steep tower

Where the moon rules its awesome power

I have freed the caged bird, off it flew

To keep him locked up, well

It’s more than I can do

The diamonds in the rock face sparkle

All the tin faced soldiers darkle

To see them march beneath starry banner

And know I once marched there too

Well it’s more than I can do

I must meet the world’s demands

Must do and follow its commands

But if I can or will it’s true

It’s more than I can do

The steeple chase, the wild goose

I caught him once but turned him loose

To keep a thing so long, belonging

Beyond some right curfew

It’s more than I can do

I saw you once in the hall of mirrors

Dancing like a phantom nearer

Until you caught my eye, your beauty beholden

With your fish hooks gleaming golden

But I had to let you fall right through

It was more than I could do

The colours of the rainbow glimmer

As on the sea, the Sun’s golds shimmer

A fishing boat trawls the lost ocean

To catch a fish like you

Yet it’s more than I can do

I hold my hands, my heart stops beating

The furnaces turn iron cast sheeting

That slips between the hammers

And the fire’s heating

The old below us the other we create a new

But it’s more than I can do
