I was oh so nearly
Tempted into your bed
It'd all gone so far
The idea had run through your head
But I came back home anyway
The next day
The dew was still fresh on my shoe
That lay by the door
As I lay down flat in the hall
And whisper to you
That I'm not going to lie anymore
As we talked I grew old
This is not where I thought we would be
To pay back in kind what I owe
Will cost all I own
So please don't cry anymore
For the love that will guide you back home
I was oh so nearly
Tempted into your bed
Tempted into your bed
It'd all gone so far
The idea had run through your head
But I came back home anyway
The next day
The dew was still fresh on my shoe
That lay by the door
As I lay down flat in the hall
And whisper to you
That I'm not going to lie anymore
As we talked I grew old
This is not where I thought we would be
To pay back in kind what I owe
Will cost all I own
So please don't cry anymore
For the love that will guide you back home
I was oh so nearly
Tempted into your bed
