The Last Line Of Defence

There was a time when I'd never think like this
The solid silver of your eyes and in your kiss
Not that you're cold but that you're worth your weight in gold
To me

I've got this perfect place I'd really like to show you
A chair, a table in the sun beside a river
I can't remember where it was but if I saw it
I'd know it

I get so wound up I hope you can tell the difference
Between the worn out part of me that cares for you
And don't mistake my puzzled look at you for anger
Don't react

On a down beat we can share commiserations
Fall away drunk from the judgement of our friends
Brace ourselves before the fall we take together
Once again
