Took You Two Years to Win My Heart

Took you 2 years to win my heart
Then 2 words to break it!
The love you ignited
If I had fighted and roared
Bellowing into the rainy night

They say heartbreak is good
For the skin, but all that it's helped is
My drinking! Picking fights with myself,
And my friends, and my friends,
Threatening to do me in

Took you 2 years to win my heart
Then 2 words to break it
More surprising than two years of plying this hard
People let you get away with it

Saturday sleep-ins with no distractions
Summer sun, and songbirds, once kept
Afloat on a venetian boat
Blotted out by your 2 words

Mighty Leon! Wind the tape!
And be sure of one thing: every song
From a heart this mangled will be
Draped in strings, strings, strings
