Shawn Phillips - Implications lyrics

She brought me love like no one else has ever
Brought me through these many years,
She made me sound and took me 'round in ever upward swirling chandeliers

At the pain of an ending is like a cauldron seething in fire,
For no one else could ever take me higher
The roses sent were never meant as offerings of peace for all the tears,
Nor solace for the years alone

I cannot bring myself to voice my fears
Oh, but life you are sacred, you are the only the we bear,
You are adamant implication that we care
The winds of life have brought me strife, I must face up to what
I think is real, and if she wants to go to him I will not hold her back from what she feels
Ah the love gives me courage, it stops the pain and heals me inside,
My very soul is a thing I cannot hide
The windows in her eyes are dark
The stars are never there as they appeared and gone is all the joy for me
She's found another man and I am here

Ah the pain of an ending is like a cauldron seething fire,
For no one else could ever take me higher
In the sky to the blue of God's eye where the winds begin to blow
And the earth is brown and green and gold
With the universe above and I must not lose my love,
No I must not lose my love again
