I used to sit and listen to him hurting He said he had to talk to try and know How love that's unreturned Can taunt you like a siren You cannot leave but you know you should go

I was no stranger to his sadness I had been lost in that way too I could only sit there listening As dumb as the deep forest Until he could see what he already knew

Well love is a sinewed beast It hears not the voice of Reason It must follow where its instinct leads It can turn loyalty into treason / It knows neither loyalty nor treason

She'd come to see him perfumed with apple I watched their death defying dance We shared a word or two I was politely at a distance It's only now I can recall her glance

We'd meet at other peoples parties Little by little I guess I knew I would have to stay or go and either He or me would be wounded In the end I closed my eyes and claimed I let her choose

Well love is a sinewed beast It hears not the voice of Reason It must follow where its instinct leads It can turn loyalty into treason / It knows neither loyalty nor treason

Well love is a sinewed beast It hears not the voice of Reason It must follow where its instinct leads It can turn loyalty into treason / It knows neither loyalty nor treason

And

I became steely to the But the voices I was hearing then Chorus

And let the silence set Until he found
