Always and never

I offered you food
more than berries and roots
when I buy you a drink
it is not what you think
we're never for sale
so we'll never go stale

I talked about love
that I had plenty of
we looked at our lives
and at how they could thrive
we'd never be cheap
tho' we might lose some sleep

      you are the best thing I have seen
      tho' no answering machine
      but suddenly our dreams were broken
      and no single word was spoken
      we'll be together
      always and never

you promised and winked
so sure our fates were linked
so tight together
all would just get better
we'd always be friends
till destiny's end

you wanted the earth
and all it is worth
you talked about heaven
our number was seven
we'd always be sure
of finding a cure

    refr.

               When I see you I see all
                all and everything
                and my voice breaks as I sing
