(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer)

If you were a baby I would take you and run
I could hide you in the folds of my heart
There?s a truth in the madness that I can?t get beyond
And a fever that won?t leave me alone

I don?t want my heart
Don?t want my head
Don?t want my friends
Don?t want my bed

I can?t live with myself
I can?t live with myself
Can?t take no help
I try to want you
But I can?t get beyond you

I will stare from the window
At the shapes in the rain
As the space between us drives me insane

I can?t live with myself
I can?t live with myself
Can?t take no help
I want no one else

If I was a child
I would reuse to leave
I would sit down on the street
Kick my legs and scream

I?m not much of a man but I know how I am
I know this won?t fade away
I will pretend and be strong
But I wonder where I belong

And the feeling comes in waves
A hole in my body.. aching

Like a heart dying
A soul crying
Exhausted and insecure
Took all you have and I still want more
And I reach out to hold you,
But all I do is hurt you,
Hurt you

I can?t live with myself
I can?t live with myself
Can?t take no help
I try to want to
But I can?t get beyond you

If I was a child
I would take you and run

And I say I don?t know...
But I know
And I say I?ll go, but I don?t let go

You just spent the whole day
Driving away
