Cream - Litany

For a while you were the cat that got the cream

So wide eyed and full of curiosity

Oh, I wonder when it changed

I thought we had it made

Perhaps the cream was just too sweet

For you to savour it

For a while you saw the wood there for the trees

So full of life and everything was such a breeze

Oh, I wonder when it changed

All your colours turned to grey

Perhaps the trees they grew too big

For you to really see

You said, «It's not you, it’s me

I’m scared of pulling you under»

I said, «It's just a blip

Put your head on my shoulder»

Contrary to the popular blief

Boys can cry, does that serv as a relief?

There’s no use hiding it away

Only hanging on good days

Surely by now it’s clear that I’ll be here

Through anything

You said, «It's not you, it’s me

I’m scared of pulling you under

It’s just a blip

Put your head on my shoulder»

«It's not you, it’s me

I’m scared of pulling you under

It’s just a blip

Put your head on my shoulder»

For a while you saw

The wood there for the trees

For a while your pride

It served as a relief

For a while you were

The cat that got the cream

Perhaps the cream was just too sweet for you to savour it
