For You - George Shearing

Princess card she sends me

With her regards

Ballroom eyes shine vacancy

To see her, you gotta look hard

Wounded deep in battle

I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted

To her Cheshire smile

I stand on trial

She’s all I ever wanted

But, you let your four walls get in the way of the facts

Honey, get your carpetbaggers off of my back

You didn’t even give me time to cover my tracks

Your said «Here's you mirror and your ball and jacks»

It’s not what I came for

I came for you for you I came for you

But you did not heed my urgency

I came for you for you I came for you

But your life was one long emergency

Crawl into my ambulance

Your pulse is getting weak

Reveal yourself on now to me girl

While you’ve still got the strength to speak

'Cause their waiting for you at Bellevue

With their oxygen masks

But, but I can give it all to you now

If only you could ask

But don’t tell your surgeon even he says it’s too late

It’s not your lungs this time

It’s your heart that holds your fate

Don’t give me money honey I don’t want it back

You with your phony face and your union jack

Yes you know it’s true

I came for you for you I came for you

But you did not heed my urgency

I came for you for you I came for you

But your life was one long emergency

Yeah, so you’ll have to find the reason

The one you’re living for

It’s not your nursery mouth I came back for

It’s not the way you’re stretched out on that floor

'Cause I’ve broken all your windows

And I’ve ran through all your doors

And you should know that’s true

I came for you for you I came for you

But you did not heed my urgency

I came for you for you I came for you

But your life was one long emergency

I came for you for you I came for you

But you did not heed my urgency

I came for you for you I came for you

But your life was one long emergency

I came for you for you I came for you

For you for you I came for you

For you for you I came for you
