Thorn in the Lion's Paw

Like the thorn in the lion’s paw
Like the beggar asking for more
I did everything that I could, just to be close to you

How long, have you heard
The sounds of my words
You never even thought
That they might be for you

Apologies, I have heard
And frankly, have forgotten
It would have been enough
For you just to hear me

And if you ever showed me kindness
If you ever healed my blindness
Then I’d wait for you, until the day I died

How long must I wait again
How soon can we meet again
I couldn’t have waited this long
If I did not care for you

I’ve never known
The first day I met you
And I hope that I’m dead
Before I see the last

Like the thorn in the lion’s paw
Like the beggar asking for more
I did everything that I could, just to be close to you.
