Cross

Hate to see you leaving
Say it isn't so
Myself I've been deceiving
Now it's time to go

Lives we are living
Counting up the cost
Hope that we're forgiven
Hang it on our cross
On our cross

Please don't go my darling
Steal away, oh steal away
We could have a grand adventure
Or just lay in bed all day

But you've got a deadline looming
Plus you'd have to ask the boss
With the way that he's been glooming
Hate to get him cross
Get him cross

Every time you turn around
Someone else there brings you down
Please relax, please take your time
For the sake of your reason and rhyme

(And every single time turn around
Some one else trying to bring you down
Trying to muscle in
And put more demands on your time, but you
Need to take the time to hesitate
Try to lose your fear of being late
Or someday you're going to wake up
Miles away from your reason and rhyme…)

Choices we have chosen
Haunt us everyday
I used to be so close to you
Now I'm miles and miles away

Love and understanding
Apt to get lost
In a world that's so demanding
Hang it on our cross
On our cross

Lives we are living
Counting up the cost
Hope that we're forgiven
Hang it on our cross
On our cross
