lyrics

One Romantic Gesture
You're here/ and the stars are not the same old lights/ you reappear/ and everything is beautiful/ I have waited for you for too long/ to leave you as you are/ will you be my last companion with me to the end?/ I can't promise/ everything will work out right/ I don't know/ just how good I am/ when I get tired of hurting everybody that I love/ I need to settle on a heart that's good and strong/ I could be like Keats or Chatterton/ Dead romantic, lying in a bed of my old songs/ I'm not keeping score/ but I think we probably do alright/ I know you are/ what do you know?/ I have waited for you for too long/ to leave you as you are/ will you be my last companion/ with me to the end?/ I could be like Keats or Chatterton/ This can be my one romantic gesture/ I could be like Keats or Chatterton/ dead romantic, dead romantic/ This could be your one romantic song/ this'll be my one romantic gesture/ I could be your one romantic jester
