Sweet Pear Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Sweet Pear Lyrics

    Sweet pear, sweet pear
    Those who say they love you would never dare
    I'll watch out for you
    I'll always be there
    In the hour of distress you need not fear

    In all the world there's only one true love
    And finding it's hard enough
    I bless whatever's in the sky above
    For bringing you to me

    But there's a void without your kiss
    I wake on the precipice above the abyss
    And though the touch of your lips these fears dismiss
    Make no mistake there is an ache i have to live with

    Was my grip too lose, my grip too strong
    That made you want to run away
    And now you're back where i pretend you belong
    I wonder every night and day
    How long

    I swear this is my prayer
    'til we're burned and scattered in the atmosphere
    Or lost in the world across a crowded room
    I am your stupid lover, your wretched groom
