Weakness Lyrics & Chords By Lloyd Cole

Cole
Place one finger under your eye
Catch a tear and let it dry
Grasp the moment now and it’s gone
With the wild swans
Yonder streetlight avenue
See it beckons me and you
Wander downtown, follow your shoes
Likely they know better than you
Without an earthly chance
But somehow a second glance
She said “I read your paperback”
Could we be insignificant others?
You could accuse me of courting despair
Forsaken for art’s sake, guilty as charged
You could refuse me, I know
You’ll do as you please
But could I call you Sweetness?
For you are my weakness
