[Lyric] Tearing at the Knots (W. B. Wooten)

In one bed, together we slept
And like each other nursing our
Own delighted pains
Like a brother, watching as you
Wept
I wonder if I'll be here again

We took our problems, wrapped
'em up in twine
And spent the long days grazing on
The grasslands of my mind
In a fever, drenched in honey-wine
I wonder if I'm needed

Ever with grief and all too wrong
Are men and women's lives who
Live too long to know the couldn't
Wait

Specter of my mind
You spent the long days tearing at
The knots that we just tied
Together, covering up a lie
I wonder if I'm needed
Ever with grief and all too wrong
Are men and women's lives who
Live too long?
Is something undefined worth so
Much so that
We can fight it
Even though we know it's all the
Same

Ever with grief and all too wrong
Are men and women's lives who
Live too long?
Is something undefined worth so
Much so that
We can fight it
Even though we know

In one bed, together we slept
And like each other nursing our
Own delighted pains
Like a brother, watching as you
Wept
I close my eyes and rest
