| I remember way back when |
| I felt only ennui |
| Like nothing could complete me |
| No promise of a rising sun |
| Illuminating everyone |
| The very thought defeating |
| But, man alive, what a blinding light |
| It must be what it’s like when worlds collide |
| Especially when he sees her |
| Pretty soon, he’ll tease her |
| I was on the road too long |
| My laboured love bore only song |
| And not one of them a keeper |
| But if I woke in the morning to find you wer gone |
| I know I’d try and find the will to be strong |
| But am I strong nough? |
| Am I strong enough? |
| I once built a bower, I could build you a home |
| Together forever, but forever and on is still not long enough |
| It’s still not long enough |
| The look of fear was in your eyes |
| And I could see myself as a child |
| Such a devastating feeling |
| I wished I could go back in time |
| But all I could do was apologize |
| Right then, your eyes were healing |
| Healing |
| Oh, if I woke in the morning to find you were gone |
| I know I’d try and find the will to be strong |
| But am I strong enough? |
| Am I strong enough? |
| I once built a bower, I could build you a home |
| Together forever, but forever and on is still not long enough |
| It’s still not long enough |
| Oh, I’ve been Cain, but I wanna be able |
| Been a drunken fool |
| But I wanted to be stable enough to lay every one of my cards on the table |
| I hope it’s not too late for us to find a way through |
| If I woke in the morning to find you were gone |
| I know I’d try and find the will to be strong |
| But am I strong enough? |
| Am I strong enough? |
| I once built a bower, I could build you a home |
| Together forever, but forever and on is still not long enough |
| It’s still not long enough |
| I went looking inside myself for a home |
| Found only a sapling in search of an oak |
| But it’s a start, my love |
| Oh, it’s a start, my love |
| But am I strong enough? |
