if i were a barbarian
and you were a lady
would you marry me anyway
would you be my baby

if a thinker were my trade
would you still find me
repeating the faults i made
following behind me

save my love for loneliness
save my love for sorrow
i've given you my memories
give me your tomorrow

if i were a heartbreaker
and my songs still resounding
would you miss my being there
would you miss my shining

and if i worked in spite of all
would you still love me
the answer is baby no i wouldn't
it's nice to see you below me

save my love for loneliness
save my love for sorrow
i've given you my memories
give me your tomorrow
