[Verse 1]
It was your birthday, yesterday
I gave a gift that almost took your breath away
But, to be honest, I nearly left it on the train
For your lover, give some time
[Verse 2]
You talk forever on the phone
To your mother and with my thoughts I'm left alone
Now and then I think how strange our love has grown
For your lover, give some time
[Chorus]
I will give up these cigarettes
Stay at home and watch you mend the tears in your dress
Have your name in a rose tattooed across my chest
And be your lover for all time
Maybe I will drink a little less
Come home early and not complain about the death
And give you flowers from the graveyard now and then
For your lover, give some time
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 3]
I think of places that I've seen
A skipping stone across the ocean I have been
A rootless man with no one else to share my dreams
And, for my lover, gave no time
It was your birthday, yesterday
I gave a gift that almost took your breath away
But, to be honest, I nearly left it on the train
For your lover, give some time
[Verse 2]
You talk forever on the phone
To your mother and with my thoughts I'm left alone
Now and then I think how strange our love has grown
For your lover, give some time
[Chorus]
I will give up these cigarettes
Stay at home and watch you mend the tears in your dress
Have your name in a rose tattooed across my chest
And be your lover for all time
Maybe I will drink a little less
Come home early and not complain about the death
And give you flowers from the graveyard now and then
For your lover, give some time
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 3]
I think of places that I've seen
A skipping stone across the ocean I have been
A rootless man with no one else to share my dreams
And, for my lover, gave no time
