lyrics

I will lose you by and by
But I'll shed no tears, and I'll bite my tongue
We'll have our summers hot and sweet
And our endless nights will turn into days
The city's quiet without you here, without your singing
The roses climb the walls
And the strangers all have gone
Where you wander, don't you know I will follow you, my dear
Little devils with tender hearts
That share my pillow and hold my hand
Tell me secrets I shouldn't know, and I won't tell you
I wasn't nervous when I met you
In the alley behind the bar
But when I'm sober all that courage just falls away, my dear
This walk isn't the same without you
It doesn't matter anyway, I always knew I'd disappoint you
I will lose you by and by
But I'll shed no tears, and I'll bite my tongue
I'll bite my tongue
