August And September Lyrics

Suddenly last summerI started going out of my headIn a tiny hotel roomLying naked on a bedI knew what you were doing, and I knew what you'd doneYour life with me was ending, your new life had begunBut I was cursing your name, and I was cursing that roomAnd I was praying for the strength to stop loving youI started writing you the letterWhich turned into the bookI was gonna reach across the oceanand force you to lookBut what kind of man was I?Who would sacrify you happiness to satisfy his prideWhat kind of man was I?Who would delay your destiny to appease his tiny mindThen you came back to me and I went down on one kneeWith a glint in my eyes and a rose between my teethAnd I pushed out my tongue for you to seeThat I'd been dying of a thirst for your companyThen you quenched my loneliness with your tearsAnd our clothes fell away as we rolled back the yearsBut we could't deny it because we could not admit itIf our love was too strong to dieOr we were just too weak to kill itWas our love too strong to die?Or were we just too weak to kill it?Every moment in that roomI closed my eyes in prayerEvery moment I awokeI clenched my teeth in prayerWhat kind of man was I?Who would sacrifice your happiness to satisfy his prideWhat kind of man was I?Who would delay your destiny to appease his tiny mindWho could delay your destiny to appease his aching swollen prideWho could delay your destiny to appease his screaming little mindYou're mine
