You're not a ship to carry my life 
You are nailed to my love in many lonely nights 
I've strayed from the cottages and found myself here 
For I need your love your love protects my fears 
 
And I wonder sometimes and I know I'm unkind 
But I need you to turn to when I act so blind 
And I need you to turn to when I lose control 
You're my guardian angel who keeps out the cold 
 
Did you paint your smile on, well I said I knew 
That my reason for living was for loving you 
We're related in feeling but you're high above 
You're pure and you're gentle with the grace of a dove
