lyrics

the Hornblower

well, some would say I was hell-bent
on stripping you of innocence
but if you read between the facts
you weren't that difficult to crack....
I'll blown the horn, I'll be the one
the moments past; enough's enough
I've spoken words I can't retract
and now I'm never coming back....

hold me - but don't hold me to my promises
just 'hold me' - but don't hold me to my word
come hold me.... but don't hold me back....

oh love you hold me back
oh lover you hold me back
oh my love you hold me back.... too much....

flagrant tears from pleading eyes
reckless vows come reckless lies
with a voice matter of fact
its that I'm never coming back......
tables turned upon your dreams;
sheds & houses, knitted reams.
I promised all I had to come
you'll say I led you all along....

I'd say the opposite was true....
I lurched for love as best I knew...
although you swallowed all my crap...
I am never coming back...
