| She smokes my last cigarette | 
| She forgives me but I don’t know it yet | 
| And I don’t ask but sometimes why is beautiful | 
| She’s a little cheap but worth the wait | 
| Of honeyed kisses sleeping late | 
| They steal my covers but I’m just glad my bed is full | 
| And if the words were spoken | 
| They’d shatter on the floor | 
| And once they’d broken open | 
| Would it matter any more | 
| You’ve got to love her to see her | 
| And in seeing there is hoping | 
| Oh she’s so sweet | 
| She’s sweet and broken | 
| She’ll never tell you anything | 
| She’s the fire that darkness brings | 
| And I get lost but that’s just where I’m supposed to be | 
| She won’t say why she cries | 
| At marigolds and butterflies | 
| Or why her smile seems to hide a tragedy | 
| And if the words were spoken | 
| They’d shatter on the floor | 
| And once they’d broken open | 
| Would it matter any more | 
| You’ve got to love her to see her | 
| And in seeing there is hoping | 
| Oh she’s so sweet | 
| She’s sweet and broken | 
| I see her rising through the trees | 
| She’s like a wounded moon | 
| Gazing back at me | 
| And if the words were spoken | 
| They’d shatter on the floor | 
| And if the words were spoken | 
| They’d shatter on the floor | 
| And once they’d broken open | 
| Would it matter any more | 
| You’ve got to love her to see her | 
| And in seeing there is hoping | 
| Oh she’s so sweet | 
| She’s sweet and broken | 
| And if the words were spoken | 
| They’d shatter on the floor | 
| And once they’d broken open | 
| Would it matter any more | 
| You’ve got to love her to see her | 
| And in seeing there is hoping | 
| Oh she’s so sweet | 
| She’s sweet and broken | 
| You’ve got to love her to see her | 
| And in seeing there is hoping | 
| Oh she’s so sweet | 
| And broken |
