Couldn't lend him to you forever

 said the hard man from above

Made you to a giver and a savor

 but also to a loser of love

Made your heart big enough to carry

every kind of pain

Made you to a dream for marriage

 but also to someone I must drain

Gave your eyes the colour of an ocean

 where anybody could drown

I'd swear an oath on your sterling friendship

 but I will always let you down

 In storms and rain it's hard to light the candle

 and I'm sorry when it's snowing on his stone

 The gravel-walk's so familiar with your footsteps

 that's a sound that could make me leave the throne

Couldn't lend him to you forever

 said the hard man from above
