lyrics

just now a shadow went creeping over your face
like something passed between the sun and the earth
the wheels are turning
i see you trying to figure out
the difference between your cost and worth
oh amelia
oh i feel ya
you hurt too

i'm not a poet
i'm a stenographer
i'm not an artwork
i'm an old picture frame
i'm not your lover
i'm your biographer
i'm not the player
i'm the rules of the game
oh amelia
oh i feel ya
but i hurt too

i'm not above stealing kisses from you
if that won't get me arrested
when it comes to love we do what we gotta do
we've got so much invested

these big old shoulders
just put your head down on one
it's nothing can't be cured
by a good, hard cry
there's never been someone
with so much love to give
once in a while would you take some of mine
oh amelia
oh i feel ya
it's only fair
i would love to share my hurt with you

if you need a change
i'll go back where i came
i'll never give you up
no not i
i'd rearrange the stars to spell your name
with one left over to dot the i

just now a shadow went creeping over your face
like something passed between the sun and the earth
