June Spirit, The - If Kenneth Could Speak Song Lyrics

There we sat
In a parked car
Trying to find the words
You held my hand and whispered
A quote you heard somewhere
It was something about dying by my side

"The pleasure would be all mine"
You said softly
I wanna take you far from here
Some place quiet
Where everything is green
And nothing ever goes wrong

And if right now you can take my hand
And join me in a new life
I'll be waiting there for you
The road is long
And there are no signs to direct you
Home to me my dear

"The pleasure would be all mine"
You said softly
You can change your mind
But not your heart
So if you try and fake it again
I'll know

And if we try and make it
Then we'll grow
Old and die in each other's arms
With nothing left unsaid
And it would be as perfect
As life would allow

And the pleasure my dear would be all mine
(And the pleasure my dear would be all mine)
And the pleasure my dear would be all mine, all mine, all mine

Well I believe in heads up pennies
And four leaf clovers
Over and over
And still I can't see
My luck running out right in front of me

You change your mind
But not your heart
So if you try and fake it again
I'll know
And if we try and make it
Then we'll grow
Old and die in each other's arms
