[Verse 1]Your song enchants my aching heartMy immortal beloved, am I ever a man?What's the coldest hell on a dolly man's strand?For you were trumpet n a marching band[Chorus]And I could have loved youFor your strength aloneI could have loved youFor your simple heartSo grave and so unshy are youThat I could have loved you without thought of wedding rings[Verse 2]We made our own bed, as young lovers doBut we all have our flaws and we had a fewI'll never regret the time spent with youFor you were an ocean so deep and so blue[Chorus]And I could have loved youFor your strength aloneI could have loved youFor your simple heartSo grave and so unshy are youThat I could have loved you without thought of wedding rings[Bridge]No food on the tableNo trees to light the roomBrother Kevin lit the candlesAnd silence filled the room[Instrumental]Your words they bleed comfort and solace alikeI cherish your letters on these lonely nightsMy shoes still fall off the Leeman's sandWith the ghosts of your lovers and marching band[Chorus]And I could have loved youFor your strength aloneI could have loved youFor your simple heartSo grave and so unshy are youThat I could have loved you without thought of wedding ringsI could have loved you without thought of wedding rings
