Sweet pear, sweet pear
  Those who say they love you would never dare
  I'll watch out for you
  I'll always be there
  In the hour of distress you need not fear
  In all the world there's only one true love
  And finding it's hard enough
  I bless whatever's in the sky above
  For bringing you to me
  
  But there's a void without your kiss
  I wake on the precipice above the abyss
  And though the touch of your lips these fears dismiss
  Make no mistake there is an ache I have to live with
  
  Was my grip too lose, my grip too strong
  That made you want to run away
  And now you're back where I pretend you belong
  I wonder every night and day
  How long
  
  I swear this is my prayer
  till we're burned and scattered in the atmosphere
  Or lost in the world across a crowded room
  I am your stupid lover, your wretched groom
